 The svnwiki->sxml parser is part of chicken-doc-admin.  (Node data is
 stored as sxml.)  svnwiki-sxml->text is included in chicken-doc.  svnwiki-
 sxml->html is part of chickadee.  You want the first one, which I will
 break out into an egg.  But you can look at the others if you want an
 example for html output.

 You can see the advantages for yourself in the chickadee output.
 Including the ability to parse lists that have embedded newlines.  It's
 not the best parser, but it seems to do the job.

 It's fine to improve the svnwiki syntax, but I would aim for backward
 compatibility, as Felix has recommended.  If you do this, the changes can
 be integrated into svnwiki-sxml.
