Prototype and test PHP implementation of Parsoid

Description	Prototype portions of Parsoid in PHP or a PHP-extension supported language to inform parser unification effort
Associated Outputs	[[Output:005|]]
Type	Development
Primary Team	Parsing
Collaborating Teams	MediaWiki Platform
Start Year	0
End Year	0
Duration (months)	3
Depends On Tasks	Refactor Parsoid to support porting
Risks	The prototype will be based on porting some limited pieces of Parsoid to judge how the port might perform. This limited prototyping is designed to give us a sense of whether to pick PHP, or use some other language so that the ported version is performant. However, the risk is that the final port might reveal factors we hadn't prototyped.
