Closing for now since a first version is ready.

Till 1.5M2 is released, we should commit all improvements/fixes against this jira issue.
After that we should create specific jira issues.

What remains to be done:

Link parsers + link rendering
Caches
More syntax support
Finish implementing the xhtml, velocity macros (parameters support)
Implement all missing macros (all the radeox macros we had)
Modify document link saving (no need for rendering, just parsing)
Make preview work
Find a way to move all old rendering code to a separate package so that it can be easily removed later and so that we have some clean code left (if possible)
... and a lot more I'm sure (this list should be edited as we progress)

The mentioned JavaWikipediaAPI (bliki) is quite different from WikiModel. It uses a stream model based on htmlcleaner (http://htmlcleaner.sourceforge.net/) tokens.
WikiModel OTOH uses a Document Object Model, which I hope is what you are using now? It's like the old SAX vs. DOM API again.
