Thread:Talk:Visual Editor design/Constraints/reply

You have some great points and have clearly thought this out. Most of what you are focusing in on has to do with the parser, so you might want to get involved Wikitext.next over here. One thing I will say though is that it's important to remember that there are, and will always be, many edge cases that aren't being addressed. What we hope to do is meet in the middle, between supporting exotic cases and content being reformed. While it may not be reasonable for us to support every imaginable edge case, it is quite reasonable for us to provide alternative solutions to the use cases that are causing the edge cases. With careful consideration and research, these alternative solutions can serve the use case and the editor software equally well. It's important to keep a sense of balance in this work, not diving too deep on edge cases, and also not pretending there are none. Hopefully you can help User:Brion VIBBER and others who are focused on the parser to keep that balance and contribute your expertise.
