Script changes are fine - I never got far enough into to build a
script file editor (although that  would be cool).

On the main DTD its also not usually a huge problem. Adding tags is no
problem as they are obvious. Pointing out any tag renamings, attribute
renamings, or added/removed attributes would help me avoid a lot of
grief. Hopefully the names of tags and attributes have settled down
though.

The Spindle Scanner classes are built by looking at the impl of the
SpecificationParser.

The most pain occured in past days when Howard switched from custom
parser to Digester and back again. Is the parsing approach changing at
all for 4.1?

The other pain point is how many versions of the DTD do I have to
support? Usually, it's the current version plus the last version.
Supporting 3 versions of the DTD has been done in the past but the
maintenance tasks get hairy.

A wiki is cool although short notes fired at the dev list are ok too.
I'm not likely to argue for or against any change. Just want to be in
the loop.

While we're at it, planning any TemplateParser changes? This is bigger
than DTD changes as the TemplateParser is used almost "as is" in
Spindle. Most of the changes in that class over the years were to make
it "extensible" for Spindle.

Yeah, I was just thinking about that today actually. What would be the best
method for collaborating on this, a wiki page of slowly incrementing
changes?

So far I haven't needed to change very much at all, one or two minor changes
to the script dtd and now what looks like a couple more to the jwc/page
related classes. (For handling things like the new EventListener annotation,
scripting to handle some of the new cycles on the client side..etc..)
