As discussed last week with Rob, I have no prepared a merge request that introduces the ContentHandler into MediaWiki core. This is a major building block for the Wikidata project. I hope the merge will be completed soon, since this will grow stale fast.
I would like to add a heads up:
This change deprecates some heavily used core functions and hooks, like Revision::getText() and the ArticleSaveComplete hook. They are replaced with equivalent functions that use Content objects instead of text. This means that a lot of extensions will generate warnings and thus fail tests as soon as this is in core. Once it is merged, we can start fixing these problems.

PS: The deployment target for this is, as far as i know, 1.21wmf2. Please check with RobLa.
