I'm more an adherent to the concept that rigorous adherence to fundamental
principles always pays off in the long run, and "Parsoid should handle all
wikitext currently in existence in English Wikipedia" strikes me as one of
those fundamentals.

I'm concerned by the existence of this one and its interplay with 50589. It
appears that Parsoid and VE made some assumptions about how templates,
wikimarkup, and tables would interact that aren't true.

Take a look at the certification table in
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Metallica_%28album%29&oldid=566196578&veaction=edit
for example. There's something going on in
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Certification_Table_Top or
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Certification_Table_Entry that's causing
more weirdness. I don't know if that's this one, 50589, or yet another related
bug.
