I think it wouldn't be too difficult. The wiki texts would need some marker, 
maybe something like
Content: text/wiki on the first line.
Then just dispatch to the right parser class for the dialect. The difficult 
thing is probably to agree on an interface for the parser (or better html 
translator) :-)

It might be enough to have the following interface:

class MyWikiParser:
	def __init__(self,wikitext,wikiNameReplacementPrefix): doSomething
	def getHtml(self): doSomething; return htmlText

I had already a quick look at StructuredText. It seems to be extreamly 
heavyweight and slow (but it's much more flexible than you can possibly 
image).
