A separate interface for create time negotiation of steady state capabilities provides both
API and implementation efficiency. Again, I would refer you to Doug Schmidts excellent
coverage of this design pattern (albiet in a different domain, i.e. network transports).
This can also be thought of as a smart factory that actually does capability matching as
opposed to just providing a trivial implementation indirection.
The idea that you can do this by first creating the default parser and then negotiating thru
its interface, and then under the covers creating a different parser that matches the agreed
capabilities just doesn't seem that appealing.
Cordially from Corvallis,
