That's certainly a possibility, I think.
(Another arguement for keeping the old-style markup is that
it's certainly more traditional wiki-ish.)

Note that the (or at least my) main motivation for moving to the
new markup was to make the syntax more intuitive (i.e. more WYSIWYGish).
E.g. you make indented paragraphs like:

   Here's an idented paragraph.

(The old markup involves a leading ";:".)

Nested lists are layed out like:

   * Item 1
     * Subitem 1.1
     * Subitem 1.2
   * Item 2
     * Subitem 2.1
