I thought the order of priority was to have the work done:

   1.   By the parser

   2.   By the publisher

   3.   By the user

Isn't that one of the "principles"? If not, I think it should be.

Consider it as:

   1.   ~10 hour's work by the parser author, now (sorry, Mr Kaply!)

   2.   ~10,000,000 hours work by publishers, for ever

   3.   ~100,000,000 hours work by users, for ever

Joking aside, do any parser authors have a view?
