a client that allows for normal edits but translates those into sed
commands when updating the page
These kinds of suggestions are along the line of having a client thatsupports translating *asterisks* to emphasis, translating <fontfamily="foo"> to a specific font family, and so on.
There's nothing stopping anyone from implementing that kind of thing atany moment and if it's gets traction it'll get traction. We're in asimilar situation as what broke the pre-standards web.
There's not a lot me or anyone else can do about that so I don't worrytoo much about it♫🐞
However, for sending text I recommend email.
Here's an idea for how a wiki in a world where spam didn't exist couldwork:
You send email to an address. The text of the page at the path thatmatches the subject of that email is then set to the body of the email.
Whether that subject is "nice/orderly/unixy/path" or "Completely bonkerswith spaces that'll need to get percent-encoded and trunced to match the1024 limit."
If people want to edit they can paste the old text into their new email.
This is just from the top of my head and not something I'd put intoproduction any time soon.
