Rules so obvious that you don't have to explain them. They are not fuzzy -- they say "question marks are stripped from headings". I do assume basic computer literacy from my users -- for example, I expect them to find the key with letter "k" on it in less than 20 seconds of searching. Trying to create markup for totally inexperienced people is doomed to failure.
Most of them will be happy using {{{|**foo**|}}} and won't see any difference. {{{|=foo=|}}} doesn't have to display a bold cell. And people don't immediately jump to conclusions like you describe -- it just doesn't work like that.
I know that finding problems and dealing with them is important. But trying out all possibilities and assuming that "users might do that" is not the right way to find the problems. The right way is to observe users and see what they are really having problems with. We can do that to some extent by just observing ourselves or our friend wikizens, but those are obviously experienced users. We can try to "imagine" an inexperienced user and guess what he will have problems -- by induction from our experiences with inexperienced users -- but this will bring bad judgments and false positives. We can finally ask some inexperienced users to use Creole and look at what they have problems with -- that's what I'm trying to do in [[TheStudentExperiment]] and on several wikis I have access to.
