Extension invocation inside of page content allows to build very 
flexible dynamic layout. One can mix output of various extensions 
(audio, video, forms) to create new functionality.

How do these plugin work when there is no XML "injection" into page 
content? How the final layout is being build?

To the MediaWiki extension I develop, visual editor probably will 
multiply the amount of code by the factor of two. So, yes, programmer's
