 * (Platonides)

It would use a brace syntax as placeholder value between the literal tag syntax of html. It would not be supporting wikitext, or run through the parser, just the Preprocessor.

My notes: Dantman
 * The use of loses the advantages that lang="mw:page" has of removing redundant lang attributes while improving proper lang tagging of blocks on the page
 * I believe we'll lose the context sensitivity that the template syntax has, at least if we don't want to make significant changes to the preprocessor
 * The {} happy WikiText syntax is a mess to write templates with.
 * Without changes to the preprocessor I believe it will also be fairly tricky to extract information like that planned to be extracted from
