No.

I did not ignore that.

In fact, I did make a very bold note of it.

But, it's not as if this is a 'suicide mission' --no one is going to 
commit suicide or intend to harm anyone in the process.

Far from it.

If indeed it turns out to be an impossible task, it's not as if we have 
staked our lives on it, we can abort the 'mission' <g> anytime we run 
out of steam.

And, about having to maintain 2 parsers.

Well.. the whole point is to *not* maintain any more than *one* parser 
--and, that includes current n parsers (I am not sure what the value of 
'n' is).

That is the target.

If we get there?

Great. Something good will have come out of it.

If not?

Well..

We'll have at least tried.

So, could I now ask for some constructive --instead of discouraging-- 
criticism.

Cheers,

Adem
