Thanks again.

For readers of this list:

I'll write this info up somewhere under our guidelines to explain that <xxx> can be
used in wikitext (don't need &lt;xxx&gt;), provided xxx is not in the list on the
above page. 

If xxx is in the above list, then <xxx> will not be displayed (it is an html
element). Neither will <xxxcyyy> where c is not [_0-9a-zA-Z] and yyy is anything,
for example <q-args> does NOT display as "<q-args>" because <q> is in the above list
and '-' is a non-word character.

John
