This si not a direct response to your question, but I wanted to point out a
variant approach I use. I use Wiki text within RDF tags that contain markup,
not HTML. Therefor, instead of
<rdf:Description>
<x:body rdf:parseType="Literal">
<div>
<h1>Nde ewo</h1>
<p><a href="http://4Suite.org";>Ihe a</a> di iche</p>
<pre></code>
spam = eggs - 1
</code></pre>
</div>
</x:body>
</rdf:Description>
I use
<rdf:Description>
<x:body>
=Nde ewo=
[Ihe a|http://4Suite.org] di iche
spam = eggs - 1
</rdf:Description>
Much less error-prone, much easier to edit and much more amenable to
diff-based version control. It also helps that it avoids the poorly-specified
parseType=Literal.
I wrote a small extension element for 4XSLT for rendering this to HTML during
transforms.
I use this technique very successfully to maintain my "Akara" documentation
collation projects for Python/XML programming:
http://uche.ogbuji.net/tech/akara/pyxml/
http://uche.ogbuji.net/tech/akara/4suite/
Each one is completely specified as a big RDF file, and is rendered
dynamically at request time. Takes very little XSLT and very little Python.
