Actually, the GUI is just a pmwiki helper form to create URLs
If you wanted wk=E1 bk=E8, you would simply make an image
url equal to:
http://www.theficks.name/chess/render.php?e1=WK&E8=BK
to embedd this into a pmwiki page all you need is a fake
image extension:
http://www.theficks.name/chess/render.php?e1=WK&E8=BK&.gif

Yes, I think that your wiki syntax would be a nice addition.
