Some folks in #wikimedia-parsoid are still real excited about the idea
though, so a couple more notes should people decide they like it anyway. :)
* Consider either a wikitext wrapper like {{#sig:Username}} (my preference)
or a markup tag like <sig>Username</sig> (Gabriel's preference I think?) to
go in the wikitext; this will make the resulting sigs look less crufty in
talk and vote pages (which do still exist, alas!)
* Use a span as the actual HTML rendering that can be parsoid-friendly and
thus VisualEditor-friendly.
* Consider though whether the HTML should be "spoofable" and what happens
if you do.
* Consider that old revisions and archived talk pages will not have this
markup, so there could be inconsistency. Beware what you use it for etc.
