I think it comes down to the fact that wikistyles don't really
understand square brackets.  There might be a local customization
that could be made to allow them, if you really want.

OTOH, I think that something such as rel='lightbox[set1]' could
be well outside of the XHTML spec.

Hmm, this sounds like a real bug.  Could you make a PITS entry for
it if there isn't already one there?

Thanks,
