I agree that's hyronical to play with a powerful

marking some specific areas of pages as "data areas". More, we use the same
page both as normal wikitext container and "data container". Why not?
Because it is not sufficient. There is no way to query such data efficiently,
and there is no standard web API to access this data, not URLs to reference it
(without the text around it).
The proposal allows for structured data as page content, as well as any other
type of page content, and it also potentially allows multiple types of data to
exist as part of the same page (using some mechanism of "attachment" or
"multipart").
