Rajiv,
Could you post a little information on the parser itself? Like
what does it do, and how much has it been tested (e.g. via web spider)?
I'm trying to get the same info from the IBM folks who are considering
going open source. The ExOffice HTML parser (already open source) is the one
in OpenXML.
Thanks,
Mike
