Yes please (the latter)!  I would not like to see a release with the old 
syntax, if we are then going to convert to the new syntax.  Better to get 
all major changes out of the way at once

I have done a large amount  of thinking (but not much coding) about parsers 
etc, and the way in which NewWikiMarkup could be implemented.  I have even 
tried to create (not very successfully) a BNF syntax for WikiMarkup. I 
would be happy to help with the code.
