Yes, I am new here, thanks! I am not sure why the multiline placeholder has to start on a new line prevents it from being usable in a large number of extension cases. I clarified that the Generic Extension Element may start anywhere, and may contain line breaks.

To please everybody, I'd suggest that names with dots be reserved for reversed domains for people who care about
the issue, but by experience, I feel it's a loosing battle.

From Gregor, originator of this proposal:
I think the debate whether plugins are uniquely identied by Java conventions is, ok, but its importance would be where two wiki engines do //want// to be interoperable or achieve automatic translation.
The point of an **extension element** is that Creole **does not know or cares** what is inside, except that the end-of-extension-box marker is //not// inside. The point is that providing an extension box stops screwing the rest of the content (especially by wiki-specific escaping requirements), and thus simplifies porting of content.
First as an aside: The extension box that I envision is not limited to plugins in a narrower sense, i.e. generating dynamic content. For example, I find JSPWikis abilitity to support custom CSS styles on Wiki text quite useful (much better than dozens of #red# etc. special markup) and would envision that inside an extension box as well. Or features like "invisible comments", etc. that some wikis support.
For dynamic plugins, I do like the idea of optionally supporting an "alt-text" or "cached-result" very much. It would be relevant for Creole to anticipate it, because Wiki-editor software may need to know about it.
{{{
<<extension|cached-result>>
}}}
introduces the small problem that the bar character may longer be part of the plugin. I would favor:
{{{
<<extension>>|<<optional cached-result>>
}}}
That is, multiple extension boxes separated by a bar without any other blanks refer to the first one, the second optionally containing a cached html-formatted result
The cached-result is automatically generated, so ease of typing is no concern here.
With regard to the discussion about URL/GUID plugin identifiers, what about:
{{{
<<extension>>|<<optional cached-result>>|<<optional url-based plugin identifier>>
}}}
Perhaps that would simplify the migration, and would be added where confusion may arise, but not required.
