14:49 < smcv> alsuren: tbh, I'd prefer it if any rewrites were done using 
              danni's spec parser (from telepathy-spec doc-generator)
14:49 < smcv> alsuren: rather than doing ad-hoc parsing for every codegen tool
14:49 < smcv> alsuren: er, not doc-generator, but the thing that produces the 
              new multi-page spec

...

14:52 < smcv> I'm rather unconvinced by the templating library that danni uses 
              for the HTML (cheetah?)
14:52 < smcv> and in any case I don't think it's an acceptable build-dependency 
              for our other projects
14:53 < jonnylamb> You think we should NIH it?
14:53 < smcv> so we'll still be using the % operator in practice
14:53 < smcv> jonnylamb: I don't think our codegen is anywhere near as complex 
              as the HTML, so yes, I suppose I do think that
14:53 < wjt> i think it'd be fine to "rebase" the code generator on top of the 
             spec parser's object

...

14:56 < smcv> non-stdlib python for docs: fine, non-stdlib python for codegen: 
              bad
14:56 < smcv> IMO
14:56 < smcv> I deliberately asked danni to avoid using third-party XML 
              libraries for that reason
14:57 < smcv> so we could recycle the parser layer from tp-spec (but not the 
              cheetah layer) as a codegen tool
