That's because that is the *private* API for VisualEditor. It absolutely should not ever be used by anyone else. It's not like any of the 'real' APIs in MediaWiki – it is designed for exactly one use case (VisualEditor), makes huge assumptions about the world and what is needed (like tagging edits), and we make breaking changes all the time. Unfortunately, the request to badge internal APIs got turned into flagging it and similar APIs in MediaWiki as "This module is internal or unstable.", which isn't strong enough on just how bad an idea it is to use it. I would extremely strongly suggest that you do not use it, ever. As Marko, Subbu and Scott point out, we have actual public APIs for this kind of stuff, in the forms of RESTbase and Parsoid, and that's what you should use. Yours, -- James D.
