And I meant to say, excellent effort. One thing for everyone to beware of: ADL is moving to 2.0 in Release 1.0. There will be a bit of pain for all us parser writers, and also for people who have archetypes in previous versions of ADL. But once ADL 2.0 is implemented, we are safe (since ADL 2.0 makes the whole archetype a dADL text, so later changes don't change the syntax).
