At the risk of sounding stupid, does this mean other wikis will need a Parsoid instance to use this extension, or is this simply being tested in a Parsoid environment and it's just using CSS instead of wikitext for rendering? If the former, not a fan of the idea at all. If the latter, awesome, sounds like a great idea.
I'm still confused on the exact details of how this will work, so I'd appreciate clarification.

That sounds like bug T33216, which was fixed a while ago. Does this actually occur now?
No, this is talking about the problem of changing the rendering styles needing to be done in each of the customised languages manually through the translation system (and being totally unlike what the translation system on TranslateWiki.net generally uses and is suited for). It was not meant to be referring to https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T33216, which I believe is still fixed, yes.
