Just the comment I already made at http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1227#c12
"IMHO the extension's rather low-level and awkward. It works, but it's ugly, and as with too many of our fancy syntaxes and extensions it drops this big blob of incomprehensible _stuff_ directly into the text of the article using it, cluttering up the editor's view.
What would be slicker would be if we can rig up a visual editor for the thingy; compare with adding notations to images on flickr.
That might end up spitting back the same extension code, or we might integrate it more directly into the image page, or something else. (cf the long-ago talk of having a separate namespace for tables... man I wish we'd done that instead of what we did, it would make a lot of thing simpler)"
