I think any problems can be solved with something similar (identical?) to HTTP content negotiation at the API layer. For backwards-compatibility purposes, we could conceivably wrap the contents of non-Wikitext with parser tags. However, that doesn't *really* solve the problem for bots, but rather just exposes it as a problem that bots already have to deal with.
