I have been watching for EDI-specific modules, and in general, tools like the module you mention are what we find. Tools that work on the segment level. The effort necessary to put together such things on the document level seems to be more than people are willing to do. Having done all that work, you might as well sell it as a translator or syntax-checking tool :). I would think a grammar approach might work, if you have file-based specifications to work from.

Are you wanting to check syntax of documents you're producing?

But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5:8 (NASB)
