Some questions:  

1.  Should (:code:)...(:codeend:) wiki-escape everything that appears 
    inside of it -- i.e., not process the contents for wikiwords,
    urls, includes, etc.?  One of the advantages of [=...=] is that
    it's somewhat more clear that wikiwords and other markups aren't
    being processed.

2.  Assuming we develop a (:div:) markup as per other threads 
    (http://pmichaud.com/pipermail/pmwiki-users/2005-March/010783.html)
    to support specialized block stylings, should we instead be using...?

    >>code<<
    line 1
    line 2
    etc
