Please please, *please* do not give up on implementing this with a
proper placeholder and put an even worse hack into the Parser.

There should be some way to find out exactly what is happening, where,
and then target only that spot with a work-around.

Some things to start with:

  * Is this really Tidy adding the <p>? Or is it actually the Parser
    adding them? (In the latter case I'd try adding a UNIQ there).
  * You tried wrapping with a UNIQ inside that tidy wrapper code, right?
    If Tidy is wrapping the text itself in a <p> then how about
    targeting tidy specifically by wrapping the UNIQ in one single
    expected <div> and then stripping that . Or maybe instead of a <div>
    add "mw-uniq" to new-blocklevel-tags and wrap the UNIQ in <mw-uniq>
    in the tidy wrapper.


Something like <mw:foo> shouldn't be changed to a <p> in the Parser just
because of tidy. It doesn't make sense to make the parser worse just
because of tidy when not everyone is using tidy and we have an open bug
planning to kill tidy and replace it with something that wont suck so
much (and theoretically won't give you the same issue with adding a mw:foo.
