As it turned out, I was able to use Revision::newFromArchiveRow, ContentHandler::getContentText, and Revision::getContent to avoid needing to write my own code for handling external storage. I was shuddering at the thought of needing to set up my own external storage system for testing; but fortunately the programming was already done by others and I needed only make use of it. Whew, that was a close one! (It's always unpleasant to find out you just unnecessarily reinvented the wheel with an inferior design to what was already out there. That's basically what happened with Extension:EmailDeletedPages.)

By the way, you definitely deserve that Tireless Contributor Barnstar. Thanks for cleaning up some of those extension pages; I'm learning to just copy and paste some of your work into new extension pages. The only problem is, now that the new stuff will be in Github, how will you internationalize? Hmm...
