I *still* don't like hyphen :(

What about a colon : even though it's used for intermap references?

An author writes [[SomePage:Draft]] What does pmwiki do? 

I would expect local references to take priority over remote ones, 
I think.

Drawing a long bow, isn't an intermap reference just a way to
make the entire web behave like a wiki? I can link to anything
through a short name. So one *could* argue that it's perverse
not to be able to treat a WikiWord as an intermap reference.

And [[:Draft]] seems like a reasonable thing to write also...

So would there be a problem in practice?? Not sure.

Clutching at straws, is a comma , allowed?

Did I mention that I don't like hyphen; because it can have 2
meanings in the same page name and what if one (perish the
thought) wants to allow subsubpages?
