It's worth having a standard for alternative contents only if there are cases where they'll be used,
i.e. if Creole markup is rendered by an engine which doesn't have the extension. How can an
engine know it doesn't have the extension if it can't be sure about the name?
* It doesn't have any extension. Ok, that may happen.
* There are local conventions for that particular wiki and pages written for it remain there. But then there can be local conventions for extension syntax, no need to have a standard.
* There could be some inter-wiki transfer, or pages which are published simultaneously on multiple wikis. Then there could be name clashes (for instance, many wiki engine developers will want a LaTeX plugin if it isn't supported at a more integrated level, so you'll have {{{<<latex src="$a+1$>>}}} , while others might prefer {{{<<latex a+15>>}}}. If you have alternative contents, how is it going
to help? Your plugin must recognize there is some weird syntax it doesn't like. But it isn't always possible. And pipes, for instance, are frequent in LaTeX.
(BTW, when do we accept multiline list items? I'm used to multiline paragraphs because it's easier
to read and it's supported by Creole; but if you look at the source code of this very contribution,
you'll see that my three list items look weird, because I had to remove line breaks to let wikicreole
scan them correctly.)
