Thanks for the ping on T47317.  For those that haven't been following
it: Lord Farin has done some exploration of formatHeadings in the
parser, and made the following observation:

I'd love for someone who is more familiar with the differences between
Parsoid's DOM model and MediaWiki's PHP-based processing model to
reply to this (preferably on the ticket[1])

[Wikitech-l] T47317: Sections generated by tag extension do not show up in TOC

[Lord_Farin]

All,

I would like to draw your attention to ticket
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T47317.
This ticket highlights some issues with the way sections, headers and the
TOC are handled in the parser in combination with tag extensions and parser
functions.

Basically the problem is that the TOC is created before strip markers are
substituted, which prevents some sections from showing up in the TOC.

This issue is limiting the usefulness of such constructs, so I am very
interested to spend some time on it with people well-versed in the parser
code and in particular the formatHeadings function.

Of course, there are plenty more details I could give but before flooding
wikitech-l with those I thought I'd poll for the interest in addressing
this. Maybe the next step could be some chat over IRC or another medium?

Thanks in advance,
Lord_Farin
