Clients may want to handle pages with different content models in a different manner, so it should be possible to retrieve a page's content model via mobileview.

Just to be clear: You want to return the contentmodel for each request to mobileview or just, if it is requested? Wouldn't it be possible to use query + prop info[1] for that?

Either's fine, but it probably makes sense to only include it if it's specifically requested.
You could add a "contentmodel" prop, just like displaytitle and languagecount.

Yes. I requested this for T68320, where running an extra network roundtrip would result in slowdown of editing workflow and extra data usage for the 0.0001% chance that someone wants to edit a non-wikitext page. That tradeoff isn't acceptable from a performance standpoint. But, having this included in the original request to retrieve the content of the page solves that problem.
