Actually I looked at the info on formating available (both links to 
wiki.dotgnu.org  do
not work and I used the primitives to mark up the URLs as not functioning) and 
it looked
like there was a way to format, but being it was very limited and was not what 
I would
call tag based, though I suppose primitives like === could be called  a tag...  
and there
are some issues in their use, such as the stricken text feature......

I think you could call it conjecture based upon prior postings here

there is a cost associated with everything.....

but none of that addresses the question of whether the wiki should contain html 
mark-up
or not,  nor does it address how documentation will be moved from the wiki to 
some other
form, if that is the intent.
