So, why not use my WYSIFTW approach? It will only "parse" the parts of the wikitext that it can turn back, edited or unedited, into wikitext, unaltered (including whitespace) if not manually changed. Some parts may therefore stay as wikitext, but it's very rare (except lists, which I didn't implement yet, but they look intuitive enough).

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?
