Hmm, interesting idea I wonder how the "assemble" part works. :)
From my past dealings with AS3 and AST I have a pretty well 3/4 or
more functioning asdoc builder/renderer created in java using Velocity
templates and model classes that complement them (this was from my
earlier ventures in writing as3/mxml parser/dom).
I really don't care for XLST being pushed down a simple users throat
just to change a documents look either. I think this is the main
reason you see the same old stale asdocs just as they were in 2005.
The way I created the templates closely resembles how a Drupal php
template looks. I created very modular pieces that were constructed by
a builder class during the render phase.
Maybe I should just experiment with that approach to see If I could
offer "another" alternative to the XLST templates. EG Velocity
templates.
For now I just have to figure out how to build this compiler and turn the key!

So, when the wiki says work on asdoc impl, are we talking about
porting the old asdoc algorithms to work with the new AST model or if
there are better ways to implement asdoc explore them?
Just my opinion, but what I don't like about the current ASDoc
implementation is that it relies on XSLT. It seems like we could write an
AIR app to assemble the doc. Then it would be maintainable and upgradeable
by many more folks in this community.
