Ah - if I might step in here. I've been upbraided over my use of "isomorphism" by at least one user of the test cases. Now that Jeremy's text is in place, it is my intention to define the parser tests in terms of "graph equality" as defined by the concepts document: ie, to use what is effectively the same definition, but to point to someone else's text and let them take the flak for it :-) -- jan grant, ILRT, University of Bristol. http://www.ilrt.bris.ac.uk/ Tel +44(0)117 9287088 Fax +44 (0)117 9287112 http://ioctl.org/jan/ Unfortunately, I have a very good idea how fast my keys are moving.
