The main problem with more sophisticated RST support is that ikiwiki turns
preprocessor directives into raw HTML and reST hates inline HTML.
inline relies on Markdown's handling of raw HTML, specifically
that it doesn't wrap paragraph-level `<div>`s in `<p>` tags -- see
[[todo/htmlvalidation]]. Other plugins might expect their output to be
interpreted in certain ways too -- [[Joey]] mentions toggleable and fortune.
Is [prest][1] the perl version of the reST processor referred to in the text?
It seems to be reasonably well-maintained to me, and differences between it and
"standard" reST are pretty minor (a fairly exhaustive list, taken from the
prest docs, is at the end of this page).

In addition, reST appears to allow raw HTML pass-through with the `raw`
directive, though I think a better solution would be expanding the format plugin
interface. --Ethan

* fewer alternatives for bullet lists (only "+", "*" and "-")
