Just a quick point of fact: that "pseudo-code" is translated into
valid (one hopes!) (X)HTML by the Wiki engine. The code is only used
for editing, not display (else each browser would need a Wiki-markup
parser to make sense of it).

In my naive way, I would imagine that a wiki application would be as
accessible as any other web-based application that uses forms to edit
text.
