The good news is that we don't have to worry about
the wiki text or
templates. Parsoid already has dealt with that and is providing
additional markup. This makes it possible to do a 2 way conversion between
HTML<->Wikitext for VE. The goal is to build upon that work to the same
thing with "ParsoidHTML"->JSON.
All Parsoid does is expose the wikitext structure through the HTML. It does
not magically make the templates used across seven projects and nearly 300
languages (or even different sections of the same wiki) uniform.
