Thanks for the clarification.
I think the idea (as you explained it) sounds great, hope you guys can get it working.

Subject: Re: [Wikitech-l] [BREAKING CHANGE] Plans to move Cite configuration from
wikitext messages to CSS styles

At the risk of sounding stupid, does this mean
other wikis will need a
Parsoid instance to use this extension, or is this simply being tested in a
Parsoid environment and it's just using CSS instead of wikitext for
rendering? If the former, not a fan of the idea at all. If the latter,
awesome, sounds like a great idea.
The latter; this has become a pressing need for faithful replication of
expected styles for pages rendered using Parsoid, but we'll do this in
both the "regular" Cite extension and the current re-implementation of it
inside Parsoid. They will share the styling so that it will just work.
I'm still confused on the exact details of
how this will work, so I'd
appreciate clarification.
Right now we've not yet confirmed that we can entirely replicate all the
features and configurations that people are using in Cite via the existing
messages in the new CSS system. This is mostly a "please help and/or tell
us if we're crazy" e-mail. :-)
