That's what I hoped to start with my minimal syntax :-)

Sounds good to me. A question though... you write
	use dots (.) to separate components in names of pages,

I wonder if that is an absolute requirement? To me it seems easier to 
start with using '/' for component separation, and *then* see how this 
could be made to work with using '.'.

(The purpose of the distinction between '.' and '/' is that the former 
shows the entire path, whereas the latter only shows the last component).

PS. I created two more pages:
http://www.pmwiki.org/pmwiki2/pmwiki.php/Development/HierarchicalSyntaxRequirements
http://www.pmwiki.org/pmwiki2/pmwiki.php/Development/HierarchicalSyntaxAnnotation

for discussing the requirements and general annotations.
