I can think of one use case:
* I've an existing wiki (says xwiki.org) which is using the old wiki
syntax (the current one) and I want to migrate it to the new syntax
(say it's creole for example). It would be nice if I could mix the 2
syntaxes during this migration.
Now you have a good point, I don't see many more use cases :) and
thus I'd agree with you if we have another way of doing this migration.
Does anyone know if WikiModel has syntax migration tools?
Thanks

Yes this is
like solution 1 in that you cannot mix syntaxes within a
given document whereas solution 2 allows that.
I don't see benefits from being able to mix different syntaxes within
a document so I'd give +1 to solution 1 (with a meta).
In fact I'm not sure to see the advantages of a syntax choice at the
document level (I'd have naturaly put it at the wiki level). Sorry if
it has already been discussed on the list.
