… nothing done
Status reports
Frederik: Unicode character sets are on the to do list
… as is proper error recovery
Norm: I have used ixml *in production*!
A subtraction operator
Norm: I need more time to think about the not operator
John: It may depend on the parsing algorithm for how much efficiency it gains
… but it's like the subtraction version, but with the arguments reversed
Frederik: How about weights on ambiguous parses
Norm: I have implemented that
Frederik: I did too, for tree building.
… It sees it has multiple trees, and chooses the lowest cost one
Norm: Early is easy to implement for 'not', not sure about GLL
Frederik: I like the 'not' design as easy to understand
Steven: We definitely need to investigate
Pragmas
John: The key issue seems to be about the specifity of pragmas
Bethan: We need requirements
Norm: The original proposal had requirements
ACTION: Bethan to collect requirements for pragmas
