----------------------------------------------------------------
My impression was that the NSP had better results for good PDF files. I'm
surprised that the old parser has less problems - but then, the first two files
of the list had incorrect Xref tables. The old parser just reads through the
stuff even if the xref table is crap. I wonder if both parsers should in a
team, i.e. try the first one, and if there is an exception, try the 2nd one.
Anyway, when I'm bored, I'll have a look at the files in the list. Here's a
first result: PDFBOX-2163. However this is independent of the parser that is
used.

> On TIKA-1298, [~tilman] recommended switching Tika's default to the
> NonSequentialParser. We added a parameter to use the NonSequentialParser in
> TIKA-1201, and there's some good discussion there about the benefits.
> Is the community in favor of switching the default now?
