I appreciate this feedback, and all very good points.

I will move the code out of main and start making a plugin, to keep this 
extra functionality separate from the core wiki functions.
In the mean time I will rethink the page. As you point out the need for a 
markup indicator will probably go away (also in agreement that PhpWiki 
should only support one markup style), and page size is of very limited 
interest.
