No, I don't at all. I only need to get "clean parameters value" wrapped into rendered page, so avoiding a difficult (sometimes, impossible) reverse engineering to get them, and avoiding an AJAX call to get them as-they-are. I see Infoboxes as potentially excellent records.... where data are impossible to read and use (for a large variety of interesting uses); and I think that's a pity and someway a resource-wasting situation. Rendering is only one of dozens of possible uses - but no data, no use of data. The whole thing is very simple and effective is infobox template code is designed from the beginning to accept "clean string data" without any wikicode or html code inside; but I see that very few infoboxes are designed to get such "clean" data and nothing other.
