One problem is that it still doesn't provide a *generic* parsing method. For example, if you have: <a class="fn n url" href="http://tobyinkster.co.uk"> <span class="given-name">Toby</span> <span class="family-name">Inkster</span> </a> (With or without prefixes - that's not the point I'm trying to get at) how does the parser know that this is parsed as: fn = "Toby Inkster" n = { "given-name": "Toby" ; "family-name": "Inkster" } url = "http://tobyinkster.co.uk/" And not: fn = { "given-name": "Toby" ; "family-name": "Inkster" } n = "http://tobyinkster.co.uk/" url = "Toby Inkster" To do so requires special knowledge of what "fn", "n" and "url" mean; knowledge that "fn" is a string, "n" is a nested structure and "url" is a URL. -- Toby A Inkster <mailto:mail@tobyinkster.co.uk> <http://tobyinkster.co.uk>
