This sounds like some sort of "blogging" variant, which would be very nice.
As a general comment, I'm not sure if the heading delimiter would be
powerful enough for possible future expansion and/or uses as one might want
to add some other commands to sections. There might be instances where you
want to have a header without starting a section. Perhaps something like
the following ("!*") might be more a powerful sectional delimiter and while
still being somewhat wiki intiative.
!* Section 1<optional commands>
This is a Section 1 of a wiki page
!* End of Section 1 (or start of Section 2) <more optional commands>
This is the last section of this wiki page.
Normally, editing or posting would start here at the end of the last
section?
-------------
The 'stuff' on section delimiter lines would get interpreted, but not
displayed.
To make a blog, it would seem one might offer a section "blog command" to
start up some sort of blog/posting window for blog posts, with blog posts
being attached to that wiki page section (front or back) with a date stamp.
Or something like that.
