Working on Parsoid HTML can be just an easier way to manipulate wikitext.

You could of course remove the text content from Parsoid HTML & convert that
back to wikitext.

I'm still wondering what the longer-term plan for <translate> is once
content translation becomes available. To me it seem that there will be a
good amount of overlap in its functionality. If content translation will
basically replace the <translate> functionality, then that would make things
much easier for Parsoid and visual editing.
