[Perlsgml-dev] [FYI/RFC] SGML::Parser::OpenSP and SGML::Parser...

[Terje Bless]

On the off chance that this list isn't /completely/ dead yet... :-)


I'm working on a Perl wrapper for the OpenSP[0] SGML Parser; implemented
using C++ and XS with the "generic" API to OpenSP. Despite beeing very much
geared towards my specific use for it (a HTML Validator[1]) and not
implementing "complete" bindings to libosp, I'm planning on releasing it to
CPAN as SGML::Parser::OpenSP.

I'm sending this message here for two reasons:

1. The perlSGML distribution appears to be the "owner" of the
   "SGML::Parser" namespace on CPAN so I'd like to coordinate with
   it before releasing anything into that namespace.

2. I'm thinking about the possibility of having a generic "SGML::Parser"
   front end module with pluggable backends. In particular, this would
   make the SGML::Parser from perlSGML be SGML::Parser::Perl (or somesuch).

Any comments/thoughts on this?

Editor's note: in the last update,   we noted that Larry Wall would
"vomment"
on existing RFCs. Some took that to be a cross between "vomit" and
"comment."
We are unsure of whether it was a subconscious slip or a typographical
error.
We are also unsure of whether or not to regret the error.     --
