As I tried to point out, the ability of an individual programmer to write
some code is not the major issue.  The issue is large-scale adoption and
interoperability.  That issue is affected by systems multiplier effects that
are for more significant than the question of what an individual programmer
can do.

Make the standard require as little work as possible.  A new parser is not
required.
