I think that a common syntax goes beyond wikis. It should be for all Web applications, cell phones, PDAs, accessibility, etc. Some Desktop mail applications such as Thunderbird handle some sort of wiki syntax as well. Please see:

#Some of the syntax (bold vs underscore, box vs superscript) would conflict but nothing catastrophic at first glance

#Tiki doesn't not have the culture of an optional plugin/module/extension which you pick and choose from 3 different similar features/options. If we go along with this, it'll be in the main code base, installed by default. More on this at http://marclaporte.com/TikiSucks
#Current install base [[http://www.google.ca/search?q=tiki-index.php|in the tens of thousands]] so we need a smooth migration path (data and UI). We could add some of the syntax which doesn't conflict and promote those until we eventually phase out the old way.
#Tiki is not just a wiki, but also forum, blog, file gallery, calendar, etc. so we have internal links vs external links and we have a syntax to reuse content in the wiki (ex.: upcoming 10 events, last 10 articles)
#It would be nice to simplify current plugin syntax
#Some of the wiki engines support Creole by offering an optional plugin/extension which needs to be installed separately. Since most software users don't change the default, this hinders progress of Wiki Creole. Tiki applies the Wiki Way to software development and convergence/collaboration culture is very strong. The Tiki community doesn't have the culture of an optional plugin/module/extension system which you pick and choose from several different similar features/options. If we go along with this, it'll be in the main code base, installed by default. More on this at http://marclaporte.com/TikiSucks
