For those living on the development edge, I'd like to report that the current darcs version darcs get http://www.cs.york.ac.uk/fp/darcs/HaXml contains a new set of parser combinators (with the same API as before) that is lazier, whilst still allowing backtracking. By lazy, I mean it can start to return partial values as soon as it has consumed e.g. the start tag of an element, without waiting to check that the close tag matches. This has two good effects:
* your program will run faster * it will consume less memory
I'm currently trying the latest version from the Darcs repository. The Canonicalise* examples output a lot of spaces within tags.
