I'm interested in this too, for a number of applications, but I keep getting stuck on one thing. Would you standardize the resulting parse tree, too? That would probably mean that every engine would have two parsers, since I'm sure we produce different parse trees right now, and wouldn't want to lock down our parser mechanics for all time. If you don't standardize the parse tree, is it still useful? More useful than just using narcissus or whatever other parsing libraries exist?
