I don't see the relationship between postprocessing and regression
testing.
The way to test the validity of quickbook is to test its output
against a stable benchmark. How do you test the equivalence of
two xml files? For example:
<tag>stuff</tag>
and
<tag>
stuff
</tag>
are essentially equivalent in the POV of XML. XML can only be
reliably tested for equivalence if you normalize it into a
canonical form. That is the main purpose of the post processor.
