[Mediawiki-api] Template parameter output?

I was thinking about a new API function:

For a given Wikitext or article, return a list of all used templates
(direct and nested), together with the used key/value pairs.

Nested templates could be passed in the nested structure, or as a list
with parent id information. (I'd prefer the latter, since it's easier
to parse if you don't need the nesting tree)

Output could offer a format "RDF". Yay cheap semantic web! :-)

Anyone working on something like that? Anyone interested in
writing/using it? (I'm sure there's plenty of applications to use it
with; I have a few myself)

Cheers,
Magnus
