Parsing

 * Blocking:
 * None
 * Blocked:
 * None
 * Updates:
 * VE team and CX teams already knows about the tasks I've filed against them for setting user-agent headers, accept headers. I've filed a ticket against Flow as well to set user-agent header in your request. Not urgent, but good to get it done sooner than later.
 * Work ongoing to move data-mw out from an inlined attribute .. CX, VE, Flow: please start thinking about what this means and how you will process data-mw and html from separate api requests. The Parsoid and RESTBase side work will be done in 2-3 weeks time (which includes performance evaluation and impact of supporting old versions, etc.). We'll not turn this on in production (3-4 weeks away at least) without consulting with all affected clients, but the accept: header is your way of getting the old version till you are ready to switch, but we prefer that the switch not be delayed inordinately. I've already filed tickets against these projects, but this is just a heads up.
