--- Comment #44 from James Forrester <[email protected]> ---
Just a quick note, in case people are pushing hard on getting this done so it
can be used for VisualEditor, it's not the direction we're looking at taking
for VE.

* We would need something that is client-side, not server-side (this makes
things faster and avoids the really icky legal issues).
* We would need something that lets us persist VE linear-models, or at least
Parsoid HTML+RDFa (otherwise each save will take dozens of seconds of
computation, slowing clients down and adding to burdens on the cluster; until
server-side storage of Parsoid HTML+RDFa is undertaken, there's nowhere really
appropriate for this to be saved for the Drafts extension to implement, which
is currently wikitext-based)
* We would want (but not strictly /need/) something very flexible, so we could
persist undo stacks, etc. which could add a huge amount of complexity to the
Drafts extension for just one use case/client.

Though I think that the Drafts extension could be useful for wikitext users, I
don't think it's right for VisualEditor; see bug 55370 for VisualEditor's take.
