I disagree. A Wiki neither has proper versioning nor is the
content intended to be exported and reformatted. It is thus
unsuitable for writing proper documents.

As I said, I am willing to contribute, but only to a serious
project - an implementation-independent document with an editor,
releases, and textual source code in a version control system
- do not expect me to spend my time with Wiki fiddling.
