At least initially, HTML-only wiki support will mean that it is *possible*
to install an HTML-only wiki, not that it is required.
DOM-based templating is an orthogonal issue; long-term we are trying to
make template nesting more sane.

Sections which are not explicitly marked w/ discussion or 'implementing'
are expected to remain stable. We reserve the right to change the spec if
needed, but most of it is in production use and working satisfactorily and
is not expected to change. The most in-flux bits are the bits which are
not currently implemented and/or supported by Visual Editor. Our process
is to work out a spec proposal with the Visual Editor team, implement it in
Parsoid, then implement support for the new feature in Visual Editor.
During these stages the spec is often found deficient in some way and is
fixed. Once the feature lands in Visual Editor and is deployed, we have
reasonable confidence that the spec is correct and will not need to be
changed further.
