But we are not designing a wiki or a wiki engine. They are already out there -- working, with hundreds of pages. New ones appear every day, and they are based on the existing ones. We will not change that -- the only result of trying to force this kind of thing would be just not implementing Creole in them. The goal of Creole is to be a common markup for most wikis -- not a way to "fix fundametal design flaws" of wikis.
The best that could be done is not specifying this in the spec at all -- but then we are dodging the problem, and leaving a large hole that leads to even more incompatibilities and confusion for users later on.
I'd really like to see a suggestion of an approach that would allow to have both blog-like line breaks *and* MixedMode [Implementation] in the majority of wiki engines. Creole has in it a number of decissions and work solely dedicated to removing collissions -- so that MixedMode [Implementation] is possible. We have rejected or modified a number of things. It would be a waste to dump the MixedMode now because of that. Any ideas?
By the way, are there any reports about users that fumble on blog-like linebreaks? I know I do. I don't have any hard data, but I'd guess it's 50-50 for newbie users who never saw neither a wiki nor the Microsoft Word.
