Indeed, this is the output on the command line:

** Message: Loading xds files from "/home/roby/.conglomerate/dispspecs"
 
CongDispspecRegistry contains 14 dispspec(s)
ds[0] = "Experimental "cnxml" format"
ds[1] = "Name of this document type"
ds[2] = "Experimental "readme" format"
ds[3] = "RELAX NG"
ds[4] = "Website Layout"
ds[5] = "Webpage"
ds[6] = "XSL stylesheet"
ds[7] = "DocBook"
ds[8] = "Conglomerate Display Specification"
ds[9] = "Apache Documentation DTD v1.2"
ds[10] = ""Kernel Traffic" Newsletter"
ds[11] = "XHTML 1.0 (strict)"
ds[12] = "TEI Lite"
ds[13] = "Digital Scriptorium"

The 13th dispspec (Digital Scriptorium) is the one I added before
launching C.

Having to restart Conglomerate in case you add a new dispspec doesn't
look particularly cumbersome, provided that dropping it in the
appropriate directory and restarting the program actually means having
the dispspec working. In fact, this is what happens when I try to load a
DS document:

** Message: coverage of TEI Lite = 0,838710
** Message: coverage of Digital Scriptorium = 0,991935

Here Conglomerate identifies the DS dispspec as being the closest one to
the document, then prints these lines

** Message: searching for "paragraph" found "admonition"
** Message: searching for "paragraph" found "listitem"
** Message: searching for "paragraph" found "paragraph"

And dies. For one of my sample documents I also get this:

** (conglomerate:4118): WARNING **: unable to convert attribute end
index 4
 
** (conglomerate:4118): WARNING **: unable to convert attribute end
index 4

I wonder if it's because of some mistakes I could have done in modifying
the TEI lite dispspec to generate the DS one.

Ciao
