I've written a *lot* of parsers in my career. Tweaking semantics in aid of syntactic problems and vice versa is a class of technique I've used innumerable times. In fact, many of these techniques are well known and old hat. My experience, and that of many others in the field is shows practical results that belies any notion of "fooling". I'm sorry if your experience is different. I guess I'll just go on fooling myself, since it seems so helpful to my productivity. -- Uche Ogbuji Fourthought, Inc. http://uche.ogbuji.net http://4Suite.org http://fourthought.com Gems From the [Python/XML] Archives - http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2003/04/09/py-xm l.html Introducing N-Triples - http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/xml/library/x-thi nk17/index.html Use internal references in XML vocabularies - http://www-106.ibm.com/developerw orks/xml/library/x-tipvocab.html EXSLT by example - http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/library/x-exslt.html The worry about program wizards - http://www.adtmag.com/article.asp?id=7238 Use rdf:about and rdf:ID effectively in RDF/XML - http://www-106.ibm.com/develo perworks/xml/library/x-tiprdfai.html
