So when a user clicks something on a wikiPage that looks like 
ThisIsANewPage? then that user is directed to the edit page.

She us presented with a form where with a textarea where she can add 
content.

Well if we stick to standard convention then the user can use XHTML 
and/or wiki notation in creating the page.

... and a verifier that the XHTML is well formed. Fortunately, we can 
just plug-in JTidy into the picture ( http://lempinen.net/sami/jtidy/ )
which is based upon HTML Tidy ( http://www.w3.org/People/Raggett/tidy/ )

no specifying of format but the page would be saved in XML form.
