I too would really like to see this occur. Is there any specific moves
afoot to make this happen? Particularly, for my purposes, in PHP?

Instiki is very nice program and I remember previous mentions of
someone hacking MediaWiki to support Markdown. Is there any
cross-wiki, cross-language co-ordination happening to
support/standardise/expand the use of Markdown in this area?
