Laura, I wrote the original specification with the clear hope that the user
would be required to do as little structure manipulation as possible. As
much as feasible, BB should appear like a WYSIWYG editor. BB has the DAISY
tag set but is not restricted to any of the DAISY structural requirements.
BB can operate on a fully valid DAISY file, but it cannot really create one.
At least that is what I think BB should be if it is to be useable by novices
as well as experts.

Subject: [brailleblaster] some considerations
Hi all -- I've been reading the various pages on parsers and tika and sax vs
dom4j and I am wondering what will be the nature of the editing that braille
blaster will support?
Will the end user have an understanding of DAISY, and expect to manipulate
objects and subtrees in the document's structure? or will he/she just see a
rendered document like Word and not know or care about underlying objects?
I'm still just throwing the question out there for discussion. I have been
working on tika patches, thinking tika might be what is needed, but it of
course tika uses sax rather than dom4j.
However, some editors apparently use both sax events and dom.
Just trying to stir up some discussion. Comments welcome.
