This is NOT a complex math problem. It is trivial one, with three perfectly valid answers. Debating among them is merely a time-wasting form of bikeshedding. Everyone and his little sister has an opinion on 0^0.
Then you should update the wiki page to make clear what should be the correct result (undefined or 1).
The real problem is this: once we have adopted a convention for this debatable expression, under what conditions do we change the convention and break comptibility? Any other formulation of the question is missing the essence of this decision.
If this is a simple problem with a simple answer, then there is no need of convention at all. Just put the correct result. Hagar
