I've always considered that having the markup appearing that way to be
an advantage, especially when I'm looking for links to fix, or to create.

I don't see the point or need for changing the redirects to what you
suggest.

I see what you are saying, this is really useful from an editorial
standpoint, but if I'm just looking for an article on say "Johnson" because
i dont remember the first name, the last thing i want to see is..

"<caption><font size="+1">'''Andrew Johnson'''</font></caption> "

if the html doesnt show:
"&lt;caption&gt;&lt;font size="+1"&gt;'''Andrew
Johnson'''&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/caption&gt; "

when "Andrew Johnson" would have been more appropriate and helpful..
