be done but why do it?
There are several good object-oriented programming
languages that support lean parsing. Why put a
fat parsing language into the mix with all of the
overhead of dozens of ancillary specifications?
It seems like a good way to confuse people and
systems.
XML: the pine tree of syntax-unified systems.

It seems to be running the opposite direction from what Niels wants, but
it's interesting in its own way. I'm not used to seeing "void" in
markup.
