Right. ;-)
Let me put in a word for the VisualWorks one...it's probably the most complete. It would let us share work with the VisualWorks and the Camp
The reason I started the YAX project was that the VW port at that time didn't work and, at least in my perception, was ugly (not the fault of the porters!!) and huge.
At some point Duane's and my parser were actually pretty similar, but I must confess I would need to take a closer look at the current versions to see how much effort it would be to merge the implementations.
Maybe we should agree on a Squeak native (lean mean DTD skipping, SAX) parser and point to the VW port for applications that need the more complete implementation the VW port offers.
