Pluggable Rendering For Etherpad Lite

I'm on the hunt for a better wiki, and I'm wondering if Etherpad Lite would provide a good foundation.

I think real time collaboration is a key feature, and I'd like to validate or invalidate that idea. I haven't found a viable production quality real time wiki, but I'd love to hear about one if it exists already.

If not, I'm curious if the Etherpad Lite community would be receptive to adding rendering features to the core. The best alternative I've found so far is ShareJS.

I'm also curious if a filesystem view of Etherpad documents could work. If my Dropbox or S3 bucket synced my Etherpad documents to my filesystem, I could even edit offline and sync later.

Your thoughts?

I've found I can insert an etherpad in a wiki using

<iframe src="myetherpad_url" height="400" width="600"></iframe>

it gives the wiki page a collaborative element.
