Here I think the problem is YET ANOTHER markeup language.  Most of us are
probably already dealing with more than we would like.  The advantage that I
see in a wiki and the main reason that I use it is for modification 
history and
roll-back.  The problem is that I want input from folks that don't want 
to learn
wiki markup.  It might be great to have a simple x*html editor that doesn't
leave garbage after a user has made many changes to the formating, that you
would then be able to diff cleanly for rollback.  I also have to remember that
users also love to cut and paste from MS office applications, or worse use the
save as html option.

Maybe what the wiki needs is, as you mentioned above, "removing features until
the program is perfect" and not base our decisions on programs that were
designed for something totally different such as Office.  This assumes that we
are in agreement as to what a wiki should do ;)
