Re: more ideas for the parser

Hi  Jens,

 I'm trying to imagine what data structures would be the best, but I 
think I understand what you want.

I think we don't need the "exit action" from the state.

What I don't understand is how you find the id when you read the 
document?

I completely forgot about that.

So I will put it into the svn, so we can modify it.

I'm not sure about this, but you may be right. Oh yes, you are right, a 
special area can start inside a tag as well. Yes, this will be trickier 
to implement.

Yes, makes sense.
