My target for this week is to iron out any build problems from last week,
and to try to make some changes to decouple the color-style code from the
sortsgml/tagsoup logic - needed to resolve the error-recovery differences
between 2.7.2/2.8
- I'll be out of town the following week, and haven't done my taxes yet, so
I'll not have a lot of time for coding for a couple of weeks.
