--- Comment #12 from Quim Gil <[email protected]> ---
In 2004 Brion said before WONTFIXing:

(In reply to comment #1)
> Sorry, but this is not practical; sections don't have a consistent identity
> which could be watched reliably.

Then in 2011 Jan reopened. Yet Brion's sentence is still true. This features
can't be really implemented until sections are something more than a piece of
text between an "=" at the beginning of a line and the next.

Silas' idea is not bad, but still would be problematic e.g. what happens when
an editor changes one character in a section? Or when a section is inserted
before the one you are watching? 

MediaWiki displays content in a way that looks like sections but in fact it has
no idea of the semantic organization of a page. Before this is solved (is there
anybody planing to work on this?) this looks like a WONTFIX now just like it
looked in 2004.
