OK, after visiting with Mike last week, I've gotten fired up to do some parser work. I'm going to run through the current bugs list, and see what's on there. Anything simple to fix I'll fix. Then I'm going to start doing some profiling and tighten the whole thing up. Then I plan to add support for large (multi-segment) images. Then I plan to add real XML support, with support for the Open Ebook standard (which works pretty well now, but more or less by accident). I'm also thinking about converting it to Java via Jython (a Python-bytecode to Java-bytecode compiler and runtime), but right now that doesn't really make sense to me. If anyone has examples of real "torture tests" for the tuning part, I'd appreciate pointers. I'm looking for sites which break the parser, reproducibly on my system. Bill
