I was speaking of the use of unreleased versions of MediaWiki and complex/undocumented extension setups (which extensions *are* enabled on Wikipedia anyway? I know LaTeX and Cite are; is that all?). PHP 5 is fine of course.
Here are the extensions that affect content rendering currently in use:
Cite/Cite.php ParserFunctions/ParserFunctions.php
A few wikis also have: intersection/DynamicPageList.php
Additionally enabled and used in the edittools but not generally in content: CharInsert/CharInsert.php
Math and SVG rendering are also in use on Wikipedia, so should be enabled if taking our current content straight.
$wgLegalTitleChars should have "+" appended to it for compatibility. This will most likely be added to the default in the next revision, unless I forget about it again.
You can find a fuller list of extensions at Special:Version.

Brion,
I downloaded 1.6.8 last night and the SVG rendering was still broken. I can hack the script and get it working, but I would rather wait for you to post a 1.6.9 release. Also, the HTML tidy suggestion is not an option -- we should fix our bugs rather than use an external program to cleanup the mess left by the bugs :-).
I got 1.7 installed, however, the page rendering is still trashed. Would you like an account on wikigadugi.org to poke around in my database and MediaWiki setup to see if there's a problem there or for some insights? I am open to giving you one to help me determine how best to solve the issues of "as is" XMl dumps so other folks supporting Wikimedia won't encounter this problem again.
