It's horses for courses I guess, with either approach seeming easier
or more intuitive given the particulars of the task (and the person
writing the code).

For my projects and style of thinking, Jim's proposal is very
appealing. The lexer just delivers what's on offer and the parser's
role is to use or reject that input.  To me this seems conceptually
simpler than the parser saying what it would like next and the lexer
working out whether it can deliver it.  I like simple things :)
