[uf-discuss] xdmp profiles not enough for parsing?

[David Janes -- BlogMatrix]

Hi Phil,

Since you're going down this road, why don't you try playing with adding 
class attributes to the profile to guide parsing? If something useful 
results, it'd be good to know (and likewise if it doesn't!).

Regards, etc...
