Thanks a lot for the links, I'm fairly ignorant as far as what other
people are doing in this area.

I looked at DOM, just briefly though. Very interesting. I'm going to
have to look at this further, to comment usefully. One question though,
is there an open-source implementation of DOM?

I also checked out conglomerate, another interesting project. Although
they are mainly focused on XML parsing / structured document
editing.Right now I see very little overlap in the projects (Harmonia
and conglomerate), but if they did add general parsing that would be a
different story. We should at least let them know of what we are
planning.

Anyway I'm a bit busy right now, expect a more thorough report after I
look at DOM.
