True. DOM, conglomerate, and Harmonia all have a similar type of tree
representation.

Yes, I read that. I mean't there wasn't much overlap currently. There
could be more overlap if say they implemenent a C parser, but one of
Harmonia's goals is to be multi-lingual. Also I should point that there
structured editor is just one of the possible view/controllers for the
"Language Kernel". Still, I think it would be great to colaberate,
perhaps as we dicuss this more we could show them the we propose doing
(implementation wise). I personally don't want comprimise the design of
Harmonia too much, as I think it is a very good design.
