Since I'm done hacking for today, thought I'd
demo what I've been working
on. I'll leave this up for a while:

A lot of things are disabled for now, and the speed to first load can
probably be improved by at least 80%, but it is presenting a dynamic
interface without any server-side page generation. The parser is a more
complete than the presenter, so I've dumped the parse trees to the bottom
of the pages.
Anyway, I should have edits and real-time previews working soon. For now
this is mostly just an experiment to see what is possible. It's Mozilla
only too, but there's no reason it couldn't be made to work in any browser
that supports XMLHTTP. Especially interesting is viewing these pages
generates virtually no server-side CPU load.

Comments welcome :)
1) That rocks!
2) Perhaps you should add it to the list I just created at
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Alternative_parsers
I know yours is a lot more than just an alternative parser (so, in
fact, is the Eclipse plugin; maybe I named the page too specifically),
but once releasable it'll sure be interesting to people working on
their own hacks!
3) I've answered your questions about images (well, the first one
anyway) on the wiki page. :)
4) Happy hacking. ;)
