Bill Janssen is maintaining the parser in CVS, and is the chap to talk to.

If you (or someone else), by any chance, would like to at last create another 
opt-requested 
feature, it would be support for including/excluding alt text of images when they 
aren't a 
hyperlink:
#include alt_text
alt_text=1
#exclude alt_text
alt_text=0

This is so that you don't have to sift though a minefield of "[img]" all over a 
Plucker 
document, which happens often when crawling a site not especially designed for 
handhelds.
Implementation would be something along the lines of support of the option from 
commandline and 
config, like other options. When it comes time to write the "[img]" or other alt text, 
it would 
be wrapped appropriately in conditions checking for whether it is/isn't a hyperlink, 
and 
whether the config switch is on/off.

Best wishes,
Robert
