This confused me at first, since one of the formats was working, but not  
the other — and until I read your post, I didn't understand why. I guess  
it's unlikely to come up in real-life, but people on plone-dev (CCed) know  
a regexp that would match on both. :)

I also tried slimming down the markup and making it consistent with how  
other wikis work, as well as the Plone link class standard (non-existant  
pages are red, add links have the entire link clickable, but with a  
superscript "+" etc).

The one thing I'd like to know is whether the ID hashes are actually used  
for anything, or whether they can be removed, example:

<span id="text-158e812d9c8a44b0f659186cd9825cdf">
   <a class="link-wiki"
      href="contact-the-plone-team">contact the Plone Team</a>
</span>

I'd like to get rid of the stray <span> tag, so either putting the id on  
the link tag itself — or remove it altogether if it isn't used — any  
comments on whether this would break anything?
