Shaun,
What about a wiki parse. Don and I discussed a global setting available
to Deity for selecting default parse between: text, bbcode, wiki, and
xhtml. If someone wanted to get fancy, multiple options could be made
available on edit.

This way input would be parsed properly according to the desires of the
website deity and target users.

The only issue I see with this is how the back-end (database) store is
defined. I know bbcode is already available, but I'm not familiar with
the specifics.
