Ward Harold <wharold@tivoli.com> asked about lex/yacc for XML

The currently available LT XML release (http://www.ltg.ed.ac.uk/software/xml/)
uses a lex/yacc parser. The division of labour is not completely
comfortable, particularly in the area of the handling of parameter
entities, but on balance the architecture is pretty clean. Sources are
included in the distribution. We've re-written by hand for efficiency
reasons for the new release which will appear shortly.
