I *suspect* this will be less of a problem once the parser is
reversable. It's not too hard a stretch to imagine an "edit parsed text,
not original" button on a Wiki, for example.
The moment maintaining appropriate indentation becomes harder than using
an alternative editor and pasting back into the edit box, I suspect
people will do so. I do that often enough with email.

Garth.
