- Does the standard say this? It doesn't require a parser to parse more
- than one active doc type at a time, but does it require a parser to
- parse *no more* than one at a time?
-
- If it doesn't forbid parsing of multiple doc types simultaneously,
- then I think EK has oversimplified, and his statement should be
- recast to say "not all parsers claiming to support CONCUR will be
- able to do this in a useful way."
-
- Mind you, this would be more than an academic question if there were
- more than one parser which did support CONCUR.
