[Wikia-l] Techs, I'd like a quick opinion on whether certain pre-processing whenediting is likely to be doable

[Dan Kindsvater]

This is exactly what I've been arguing Lisa...occasionally taking a beating 
for doing it.  I'm trying my damdest to negotiate a solution that isn't 
"newer editors vs. experienced editors".  We're actually making what seems 
like great progress today, I'm getting hopeful that when the fight moves to 
WP:VP, it will be much less bruising.  Jesús, that was extremely helpful 
(that Wikimedia already inserts an " ").

Another issue I think is important, is ease of reading in the edit
view.  This has got more and more complicated over the years, making
it harder and harder for newbies to simply click the edit tab, read,
and type.  The more special code you put in view, the more users who
won't edit for fear of braking something on an incomprehensible page.
