I believe that all of these arguments about what to do and how to do it would be *very* well served by a) defining a list of the corner cases/pinch points and b) surveying the WMF wikis to see on how many pages they *actually* appear.
So: 1) Carefully compile a list of stuff we don't want 2) Test the validity of that list 3) Throw the list out, since we don't need to implement it.
It would be better to: 1) Define a subset of the grammar that we think is useful 2) See how many pages correspond to that grammar 3) Implement a parser for that grammar.
Anyone want to contribute on either point?
I'm very willing to help with (my) step 1. And probably 3. Which, to
answer your question means "not me", iiuc.
