Very good.

Some things which might be worth adding:
  
  Named anchors:
     #[foo]       An anchor around the text "foo" with id "foo".
     #[|foo]      An empty anchor with id "foo". 
     #[howdy|foo] An anchor around the text "howdy" with id "foo".
  References to name anchors are made thusly:
     [#foo], [OtherPage#foo], [named|OtherPage#foo] ...

  The new "nestled" emphasis:  *bold*, _italic_, and =monospace=.
  (I think ''emph'' and __strong__ are quasi-deprecated.)

  The old-style list markup works (more or less) as before.
  I'm not sure whether this is worth mentioning on the page or not...

Also very cool!  I see no problem with DHTML (we already use javascript
other places as well) as long as it degrades reasonably for people with
older browsers (or with javascript disabled).

Currently, in older browsers, I think your patch shows both old and new
help messages.  I'm not sure whether that's the best thing to do in this
case...  (pros: all the info is there; cons: cluttered, confusing...)
