Well, the current implementation of my editor uses a bunch of regexes (like the 
current parser) to determine where to inject spans or divs into the wikitext. 
Having a more accurate representation (the tokenized wikitext that the lexer 
outputs) would allow for more accurate injection. Then again, it would be 
complicated to interface that with PHP, I guess? 

How would you handle hooks, tag extensions, parser functions and magic words 
anyway? Will you leave this to some post-processing stage in PHP or have things 
interact during parsing?
