Thanks for your interest in WikiCreole and for your suggestions. I think that some of them are helpful, but many other suggest a misunderstanding.
WikiCreole is not supposed to be a second HTML, a standard embracing all wiki markup and defining how the wiki markup should be designed. There were several projects like this and they all failed.
Instead, we want WikiCreole to be a small subset of wiki markup, the absolutely smallest subset of features, that can be used to contribute to any wiki site with unknown (yet) markup. It's also a format for writing articles in such a way, that you can put them on any wiki, no matter what engine it uses.
That's why WikiCreole must be limited.
Another problem is the choice of markup. Often there are little "technical" differences, and the choice of markup becomes a [[http://www.c2.com/cgi/wiki?BikeShed|BikeShed]] -- literally **everyone** has their own idea. That's why we always try to explain the reasons behind chosing certain markup -- often simply selecting the more widespread one.
Also note, that the exact rendering of the page is outside the scope of the WikiCreole specification. Whether //emphasis// or **strong** is rendered as italic, underlined, colored, inverted, scrolled, blinking or just insanely huge text -- is irrelevant. Same goes for {{{escaped text}}} rendered as monospaced or not -- I think that Creole even suggests that it shoudn't be monospaced.
It's very hard to respond to this kind of proposition made in bulk -- could you please put the comments on respective talk pages, together with some explanations and rationales behind them, so that they can be discussed together with other propositions?
