David,

I would agree with you if it was just the parser and the application
with nothing in between.  Unfortunately, most e-commerce systems is
based on N-tier designs with lots of middleware and mediums between
the data source and the application.  You have to worry, not just about
the size of the your toilet hole, but all the pipes between your home
and the sewer plant.  Sorry about my rather yucky analogy. <g>

Best,
