Sorry for the delay(see note (1) below).

Yes, it is a good start.  As Victor's pointing out there are a certain
number of things that can be implemented even with a partial/incomplete
parse.  I have the same concerns then JohnC, what do you have in mind
for IProblem and reconciling the builders markers and the parsers markers?
Sure we can arrive to a compromise and a working plan.

So what's your plan?



(1) I'll be off/on vacation during the entire summer.  So some delays in
responding to querys/emails.
