Alex,
I certainly agree, that a (complete) grove is probably
the most powerful and complete way of accessing
a documents data.
I am not convinced however, that it is always necessary
to built a grove.
My view on this is :
-----------------------------------------------
- application -
---------------------------------- -
- grove/tree builder - -
-----------------------------------------------
- event stream (Esis++) -
---------------------------------- NXP -
- core parser -
-----------------------------------------------
You can always built a more powerful layer
on top of an event stream. Furthermore we
should also consider the work of the DOM
group. Their results will have a considerable
impact on our work as well.
If we can provide a flexible low level
layer, we can always add more fancy and
specialized post-processors on top
of it.
