Why both? Their parallel existence and purpose is already confusing,
without blessing the two :-)
Right, if there are are two competing libraries and it's not clear which  
one is best, that's a sign that we shouldn't put either in the platform  
until the differences are resolved.  Fight it out and get back to us  
when you have an answer :-)
They're complimentary. Sometimes you need parsing of streams, sometimes
you need synchronous parsing of strict packets.
