I like the simplicity of dropping in a file and having that syntax 
available, but I'm hesitant to add filter controls to the in-wiki 
interface. It's one thing that the command-line options are growing, 
another to complicate what's facing the wiki user.

So I see options like markup choices and the like to lie with the wiki 
administrator.
