[Themis-dev] CSS

[Maxwell C. <ma...@um...>]

Yes, I've been following the mailing list.

I'm currently doing a more in-depth analysis of the CSS grammar
(currently trying to determine if the CSS3 grammar is LL(1)), so I can
better judge the available parsers.  There is a number of really odd
properties of the CSS grammar, and one of the most important properties
of a CSS parser is how it handles these.  I'm going to completely
analyze all of the oddities of the CSS 2.1 grammar (which I'm familiar
with), then try to see if I can anticipate any similar issues that may
have arisen with some of the new CSS3 stuff.

Once I've completed that, I'll send my thoughts on all of the available
CSS Parsers/CSSOM packages (including some beyond the three you listed).

Does the current CSS look like it's a good start, does it look like the foundation is bad and that it would just be better to start with a new CSS parser (like yours).  I know you were interested in the particular area of CSS, but the reason I'm contacting you is to see how UZI mixes into things.  In comparing the 3: Themis' CSS, your CSS, or UZI's CSS, which appears to have the more solid foundation (regardless of whether it's even close to feature complete)... and which is closer to feature complete?
