In fact this is Colin who wrote these ISO parsing classes.
If I remember correctly we decided to remove them from the
Gobo package for the time being because they were not
fully implemented and not really supported, causing extra
maintenance burden when they would not compile because of
modifications in other classes. At that time we said that
the code was in the history of CVS anyway, so if someone
one day would be interested in resurrecting these classes
and take over their development and implementation it was
still possible. If you are that someone, then I suggest
that you talk with Colin about what was done and what needed
to be improved or was left unimplemented.
