Thinking about this question from the other day and

I'm asking out of ignorance. I realize a the preprocessor is not the
parser, but it does turn the WikiText into a DOM (right?) and that
could, conceivably, be used to create different parsers.
What am I missing?
Mark.
The preprocessor only handles a minimal of WikiText... it's only
function is things like template hierarchy, parser functions, and
perhaps tags. It doesn't do any of the pile of other WikiText syntax.
It's also not really anything special to do with XML, we have a
Preprocessor_Hash too which iirc uses php arrays instead of a dom.
