Both parsers that were presented at the hackathon did clever tricks to be able 
to do context-dependent parsing, by enabling and disabling rules on the fly. 
Andreas and I discussed building a formalism out of this. Turns out that 
someone already did this, for his PhD thesis: 
http://www.complang.org/colm/thurston-phdthesis.pdf

Using something like this could eliminate much of the informal descriptions as 
suggested at the hackathon.

Cheers, Jan Paul
