It also depends on whether you've already got a 1.0 processor in your
kitbag, whether you've got an existing schema processor, how much effort you
put into performance, whether you write in a language that does the memory
management for you, how many natural languages you localize into, how
experienced your programmers are, and perhaps even (though I'm not sure
about this) how large your team is. But I'll leave all those variables
undefined because it gives me an excuse for being wrong.
