I can't understand details of this talk, but if you like take a look to the raw code of any ns0 page into it.wikisource and consider that "area dati" is removed from wikitext as soon as an user opens the page in edit mode, and re-builded as the user saves it; or take a look here: http://it.wikisource.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Variabili.js where date used into automation/help of edit are collected as js objects.
Yes. Basically, the ContentHandler proposal would introduce native support for this kind of thing into MediaWiki, instead of implementing it as a hack with JavaScript. Wouldn't it be nice to get input forms for this data, or have nice diffs of the structure, or good search results for data records?... Not to mention the ability to actually query for individual data fields :)
