Aren't we trying to be too creative here? There is already one good and generally accepted way of making links. It works, it is generally widespread, and I think we should be pretty happy about it. Ok, someone pointed out the problem with having to paste or read long urls before finishing a thought and reading the link text. We can solve that by detecting the url/description order (Although I think that this would be ideally normalized, for example by some preprocessor, before saving. Of course no such thing in Creole).
Now we have a totally new markup introduced that does nothing new. The only purpose is to make some experienced users of certain wiki engines happy. I say that experienced wiki users are pretty familiar with the idea of wiki syntax and can adapt easily -- let's not carry over this division to the new generation of wikizens.
I have also a **huge** problem with this proposal. There are 3 advantages listed for this newly introduced markup:
* **There exists one wiki engine that uses it.** How is that an advantage? There exist hundreds of wiki engines that don't use it.
* **Works better with international keyboards.** How does it work better? Sorry, but I fail to see it. Can someone demonstrate it?
* **The order of link and secription is indicated in the markup.** I don't see it how it's obvious that the arrow should point from the description to the link and not the other way around. This had to be learned too. And this is no different than just learning what comes first, because the variant with the arrow pointing in the opposite direction is frowned upon.
Honestly, I can't see how a proposal with such poor argumentation got into Creole 0.5.
