--- Comment #8 from Matthew Flaschen <[email protected]> ---
"jqueryMsg was intending to appending as text nodes, no html parsing of any
kind."

On what basis do you say that?  In
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=29542 says, Neil (one of the
main devs on it) says:

"(HTML which is fully outside of or fully inside of another element is parsed
correctly.)"

In the actual prior code:

// strings, integers, anything else
$span.append( node );

I take "anything else" at face value.

"Messages are not allowed to contain arbitrary html."

Not true.  Some are.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Stub-threshold
has a HTML link, which is used as HTML in preferences.

If you try the same thing as wikitext, it will not render.

Messages are special, and one of the distinguishing factors is that they can
use HTML in some cases.

I believe we should allow HTML as HTML, like before, as a temporary solution.

After that, we should consider an HTML mode, since I think that (HTML vs.
wikitext, by context), reflects how it is on the server.
