- Second, I'm not a big fan of VE changing wikitext in parts not
modified by the user: experience shows that it messes the diffs, and makes watching what VE is doing a lot more difficult. It has been requested several times that VE doesn't start modifying wikitext in places not modified by the user.
In case it wasn't clear, this is already the case. Parsoid/VE uses "selective serialization" to avoid touching unmodified content. This feature has been present since the beginning.
Yes, I'm aware of that, but I was answering this because it was suggested previously in the discussion to use VE to do the cleanup...
