I don't. Have you tried? I created a parsing tool that can be used (and is used on a small scale) for data mining, validation, checking implementations, etc. that does not support scripting and our team did not have much problems with the specification. In fact, it was quite a straightforward process and where it was not we provided feedback to improve the specification. Others have done similar things. http://code.google.com/p/html5lib/ is that project by the way. -- Anne van Kesteren <http://annevankesteren.nl/> <http://www.opera.com/>
