I tried to write a grammar parser for the Creole 0.6 specification. Thus the specification is desired for regular expression based translation to HTML, I have some issues you might not consider and I hope it’s could be interesting for you. I mean if the 1.0 specification should be valid for two years, you could/should consider that some people want to use a scanner/parser created from a grammar. Why not, it offers much more potential for the future. Further you can offer a grammar instead of a prose specification. Wiki engine developer could easily use different scanner/parser generator for different target programming languages. \\

The leading spaces before list items are user-friendly, but imo not necessary, because you get an indentation by the number of asterisks/pounds. On the other hand, why isn’t it allowed before a heading? (This conflicts with usability.) Using a greater look-ahead for skipping the leading spaces decreases the performance of the parser and complicates the definition of a grammar.\\
Paragraphs: "A list, table or preformatted block end paragraphs too." I think it is mentioned that each list, table, preformatted block is its own paragraph, isn’t it? Btw, it would be much easier to parse if every time a blank line separates the paragraphs.\\
