please do - it would follow in the glorious tradition of publishing RFCs 
for such useful things as the OGG file format, the Vorbis codec and the 
zlib compression formats.....

Well,

As part of the www.tikiwiki.org project, I have been talking about
writing the wiki syntax into an RFC like documentation. I think the wiki
syntax in this project is in documentation format but not looking like an
RFC.

I think we could quickly whack an RFC on wiki, and ask people to
contribute to it... When it is stabilised we could submit to IETF.

The advantage, is that there is already an implementation, the other
advantage would be to bring some standardisation in all the wiki.

I think since the creation of the Web, there has not been such a
revolution as wiki. Imagine an e-mail message wiki formated. No need to
use HTML anymore in a multi part message. The text can be read as is, or
wiki interpreted for better display...
