I *believe* so. Both Parsoid and Visual Editor have extension interfaces. However, they haven't really been used by folks outside WMF yet. I'm eager to have that change.
We're thinking about proposing a "Workshop" session at wikimania for "How to write extensions for Parsoid and Visual Editor". But the area's only half-baked, it might be more appropriate to do it as a hackathon session instead.
