+I'm considering a configurable rendering pipeline for each supported
+filename extension. So for ".mdwn" files, it would send the content through
+linkify, markdown, and finalize, while for ".wiki" files it might send it
+through just a wiki formatter and finalize.
+
+This would allow not only supporting more types of markup, but changing
+what style of [[WikiLink]]s are supported, maybe some people want to add
+[[CamelCase]] for example, or don't like the [[SubPage/LinkingRules]].
+
+The finalize step is where the page gets all the pretty junk around the
+edges, so that clearly needs to be pluggable too.
+
+There also needs to be a step before finalize, where stuff like lists of pages
+that linked back to it could be added to the page. However, doing linkbacks
+also needs to tie into the main logic, to determine what pages need to be
+renered, so maybe that won't be a plugin.
