Regarding the parser, we've discussed it back and forth. That's cool, but the problem isn't how easy it is to write, the problem is that _why wrote a completely different URI classifier that allows for nicer notifiers and registrations and all in pure Ruby. It's in the 0.4 code, so your work was basically for nothing really. We should maybe coordinate on this a bit so that you folks get the right code to base your work on and we can sync up with the 0.4 release. -- Zed A.
