James Carman commented on DIGESTER-135:
---------------------------------------
I'm not so sure about this approach. One thing that jumped out at me was the
@SetNext annotation. When you're building up your digester by hand, you have
some context of where you are when you set up your rules. With that @SetNext,
how do you know where you are? How do you know your context? It would be
easy for the classes to get out of synch. I think we'd be better off creating
a rules builder API that reads more like English.
