This is a really good idea, thinking in a different direction, and could be
very useful, especially if it were available, say, in ROM.  

My one concern is that for Palm devices, there are some 64K limits.  I'm
still trying to figure out what exactly this does to code and how (if at
all) it's changed in PalmOS 3.0, so it may not be that large a problem.

Sadly, all the NetNanny-type software out there will probably block out
your code think it's about something other than parsing.
