I'm revising the parsers to log a message when they come across a location
they don't understand, and continue processing the file; instead of throwing
an exception and bombing out. This will let us push off issues like the
remote location problem. I have a question for the list:
Should these revised parsers supplement or replace the current
parsers? I.e., is anyone's program going to break if bad files are
partially processed instead of crashing the program? A log message is
written to System.err so it's not a silent failure.
If you'd like this to be a second parser instead of replacing the
original, I'd appriciate a name for it; I can't come up with a good one.
