Re: Re: RFC: Wider scope for HTML::TokeParser::Simple

First, the AUTOLOAD has been gone ever since I released the first version. That's not an issue (of course, if the module works as advertised, I don't think that leaving the AUTOLOAD in would have been that much of an issue, either, but I digress...)

Ovid responds: "why what?" I raised several issues there. Which one are you asking about? I think you're talking about the interface change, but rather answer a question you may not be asking, I'll just ask you to clarify your question :)

Cheers,
Ovid

Why are you expanding the scope? I can understand the is_tag addition, but why add all that HTML::Tagset stuff? ( it wouldn't be simple no more ) I know the AUTOLOAD has been gone, but with the numerous tags, would it be insane not to go with it (if you add that is_head is_body stuff)? Also, who's to say what's a valid tag , ie, what subset of html are you going to support (don't say whatever HTML::Tagset supports ;)? Seeing as i'm the only who's got anything to say, I say knock yourself out, but please keep in mind my previous comments on the interface (api version v. namespace change).	[reply]
