Not at all, it is to be expected.  Actually I am going to
experiment to see whether the parser can fit into an
Appendix, or whether it would be too unwieldy. (and I
would ultimately like to write a test suite, in the style
of feedvalidator.org etc., which would clearly not fit into
the text).

Thank you for the references and background: I think it's
