I am not sure whether we have mentioned this before, but the working group does not intend to define an interchange format for the grammars or string tables, which it seems to me that you are requesting. The only way we define for interoperation of schema-informed encodings is using XML Schema. Your request for a document-specific grammar could, I think, be fulfilled in an interoperable manner by defining a document-specific XML Schema and converting that into grammars according to the grammar derivation algorithm in the EXI specification. -- Jaakko Kangasharju, Helsinki University of Technology I + NT = Problem
