That sounds like a flexible and portable solution to me. I suggest the XML
format is specified in a W3C XML Schema, so it's well defined, is possible to
regression test output, and so on.
However, I would think twice before implementing any XHTML/HTML
export(although XSL-T is an excellent tool for that of course). I would
consider implementing it inside Doxygen because it's a broadly used
documentation framework, supports multiple output formats(PDF, XHTML, etc),
and the parser documentation would be integrated with the rest of the
documentation.
In either case, I think it's clear how useful a modularized approach is, where
whatever interface Bison exposes(XML, API, etc) can be integrated into
different software projects.
Cheers,
Frans
