Dear Roan,
Thank you very much for your detailed explanations. I appreciate it very much.
Even though, I do not fully agree with all your design decisions (regarding two different feedback mechanisms), they are understandable from your position (as far as I can anticipate it).
Last comment on this, wouldn't be great to integrate both mechanisms in a way. I mean that the user can simply decide whether and when she wants to send some additional information (about the browser used etc.) by just selecting a checkbox (that explains the difference). So in every situation (before and after editing) the user can provide some feedback. The user can easily and understandable (at least I believe) decide about the extent of the feedback. Maybe is this (=my) feedback useful for the beta-testing-version :)
Thanks Claudia; we agree that having two feedback mechanisms is confusing, and we intend to remove the "something is wrong!" feedback link from within the diff quite soon (ahead of the beta version, certainly), once we are confident that Parsoid will never or very rarely corrupt pages on save. We should be able to take normal on-wiki feedback and bug reports alone as enough to debug what has gone wrong, and this will remove the source of confusion.
Yours,
