And application developers, too.
But if you want to have pluggable application code already
available, you could:

	write a Perl regex
	provide a Java class
	provide C source which the application should compile
		and dynaload (:-))

and put any of these into the resource referenced by the URI
in the notation declaration.  The MIME type of the resource
could tell you which one it is.
