both!

Sameer, your revised grammar should work -- in principle this is the way I 
solved this issue for my thesis.  As I'm actually working for a company I 
can't say how much time this will take me to do, but my plan is to first 
write a JUnit-test and after that maybe I will first start to implement the 
parsing stuff with JavaCC.  Hopefully I will start my Ph.D. soon, because 
then I will hopefully have more time to work on JSDSI :-).

How is your Ph.D. doing, Sameer?  Have you done it?

I whish you all the best.
