Hey Lewis, I'm fine with having the discussion about how to assimilate Any23 into Tika -- that would involve the Tika PMC too and I'm happy to lead that -- the Tika PMC sponsored Any23 when it was in the Incubator.
However, my only suggestion here was to figure out how to make Tika have a Parser that called Any23 -- more a plugin in Tika and a dep from tika-parsers to Any23. So a much smaller step :) Thoughts?
