Since launch there has been some frustration about the markup being 
used.  I suggest we actually allow as much plain HTML markup as 
possible.  A list of permitted markup can be found on the MediaWiki site 
[1].  This would help clear up some confusion and help stop overloading 
the templates like what was brought up in another thread [2]. Also since 
most people editing will know HTML markup, they won't need to learn 
mediawiki markup to make basic edits (unless they want to deal with 
links, then we have an issue.)

Thoughts?
