That's a good question. I think it will be easy. I will have a pointer to an 
augmented transition network and memory with functions to return the next set 
of tokens etc.  Or, you can simply walk the graph to figure out what you would 
like to do yourself :)

I have tested, just yesterday, and interpreted lexer and parser for simple 
HTML. works really well, including calling out to some actions :) I'm having 
some evil thoughts about parsing at the moment. more later when I have time to 
formalize and try things out.

All indications are that this approach will yield lots of interesting things. 
You can expect such a beast to be in v4.
