How would you combine flags from multiple namespaces?

Okay.  For consistency, I'd suggest:

    markup.raw      No encoding or converions.
    markup.plain    HTML entities are converted to allow plain text. 
    markup.html     HTML entities are either rendered or stripped.
    markup.wiki     Wiki-style commands are interpretted and rendered.
