I tried to add John Katz to the ticket but couldn't find his username. Can 
someone who knows please do?

IMHO the following things need to happen before a large-scale roll-out:

- A discussion needs to happen with the Wikidata community. I will handle this 
now.
- Description editing needs to be tested on a small scale to gauge impact. 
(Ideally with a kill-switch in case vandalism is too bad.) Since it is already 
developed for Android I suggest communicating this to the Wikidata community 
and rolling it out. Evaluate the impact.
- If that works well roll it out further on other platforms.

Other things to keep in mind:

- Someone need to figure out the interaction when editing a description that 
has "hidden" parts. What happens when it goes over the length limit for example?
- I advice against rolling out Wikidata descriptions further without them being 
editable. Wikidata already got quite a reputation hit because of this.
- As I said earlier the stripping should imho happen on the consumer side as it 
is specific to the usecase of Wikipedia based on convention in Wikidata. Other 
Wikibase installations could have different conventions so hardcoding that in 
Wikibase seems bad.
