My experience is that industry-standard formats aren't. I mean, yes, they do exist, but more often than not, they're a de facto standard because everybody in that industry uses the same software for the same task. Further, I find that Parse::RecDescent is more often useful to parse either a) Extremely complex grammars like the SQL example above, or b) Proprietary formats of things like part numbers, internal file formats, etc.

If BAI::Format were truly useful, it would certainly be much more useful to write it as a full-blown module (spit out the code that Parse::RecDescent creates before eval'ing as a starting point), than as a grammar file that needs to be parsed before even starting to process the BAI file(s).

So, overall, while it'd be nice to have, say, SQL available as a grammar, I don't think most people's Parse::RecDescent creations would be either a) useful to anybody else, or b) be able to be released to the public without having your ass sued off.
