[This is not an urgent request for pre-July.] Per https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Parsoid/MediaWiki_DOM_spec#Language_links the current behaviour is: [[en:Foo]] -> <link rel="mw:WikiLink/Language" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foo"> Though this is enough to render, we can't determine what the target wiki language is or the title (in this example case, 'en' and 'Foo').
This information is implicit in the href attribute, and can be extracted easily with a map from URL prefix to concepts like language or article. I would consider interwiki prefixes a local syntactical detail which should not be exposed in our DOM.
