If we could work with parser layers rather than parsers, this might become
a lot easier to manage.  We could just turn on the parts we need and turn
off the ones we don't. 

I'm hoping to build an open and extensible parser based on the approach I'm
outlining in that "Layered Model for XML Processing" document
(http://www.simonstl.com/articles/layering/layered.htm) over the summer.
Open source, open architecture, open model.  It'll be event-based for now,
maybe with a tree-builder at the end.

Tilting at windmills, a glorious hobby.
