A CSS parser would also be quite useful.  I have a barely-started cut at it
<https://github.com/jducoeur/cssparse/blob/master/shared/src/main/scala/org/querki/cssparse/CSSParser.scala>,
but would happily use a third-party version if somebody wrote it.

For that matter, I *also* desperately need a FastParse implementation of
Markdown -- my Actuarius-derived fork is functional, but that
scala-parser-combinators code is so intricate in order to get decent
performance that it's almost unmaintainable.  Naftoli, thanks for the
pointer to CommonMark -- I hadn't seen that before...
