the parser in phpclasses is pretty good - writing a parser is not
necessarily very easy. the biggest difficulty is understanding how to
use the parsers. i'd suggest you check that out first.

someone else on the list might know better, because i haven't looked at
a bnf for xml, but i suspect it's not lr1 which means the parser is
difficult to write.

i've attached an example php script to generate menus with rollovers and
an example menu

before anyone asks - no i don't have a dtd (yet) for the menu format
