Hi Mark,
Do you know that the WorkingWiki extension pretty much already does this?

I haven't looked into the ContentHandler features in any detail, but I don't imagine it'll be hard to handle source files stored on pages with special content types along with the other ways of storing source files that we already support. And yes, I'm sure I'll do it at some point.

As you may have guessed, I've been working on the release notes for 1.21. Please look over them and improve them if you can.
In the process, I came across the ContentHandler blurb. I don't recall this being discussed on-list, but, from looking at the documentation for it, it looks pretty awesome. I've used some of my editorial powers to say, in the release notes:
Extension developers are expected to create additional types in the future. These might support LaTeX or other forms of markup.Is this correct? It sounds like a really big thing, if it is.
