I agree it should not have internal implementation knowledge.  I meant
how it works in a different sense.

More specifically, what if Wikidata exposed a JSON object representing
an external version of each change (essentially a data API).

It could allow hooks to register for this (I think is similar to the
EditEntity idea).
