Crazy idea: What if it was an/extensible/ editor? You could add
later a
module for enable lists, or "enable graphic<ref>", but also instruct it
on how to present to the user some crazy template with a dozen parameters...
Seems like it will need to be extensible, to allow authors of MW
extensions to add support for cases where they've changed the parser's
behavior?
