Would exactly would I want to prevent it doing? Unfortunately, most of it!
Things like:
* automatic conversion of URLs which are not marked up
* automatic lowering of the case of page names
* interwiki links
* windows shares links
* ALL of its smileys
* its Usenet-style quoting
* most table cell merging
* embeddable HTML and PHP
Sorry, but you did ask! It's not all bad. FWIW there are some things I like
about it.

That is possible but the code so far is tiny. Partly because it has been
easy so far I am more concerned that I may have failed to consider something
fundamental!
