 _____________________________________________________________________________
 Immediately
+  - use 'a'-'z' or 'a-z' instead of [a-z]?
+  - EOF token?
+  - de-genericize?
+  - better toString() methods all around...
+  - foo.add(x)
+    foo.add(y.andnot(x)) ==> this is broken
+      - distinguish Conjunct from Sequence?
+            => !(Conjunct instanceof Reducible)
+  - document the assumption that Sequences that match epsilon
+    must have tag, and that ONLY that tag is returned
+    when the sequence matches epsilon
+  - try to avoid building the parts of the tree that end up getting
+    dropped
+  - double-check all the region logic
+
+  ..................................................
+
+  - paper/techreport opportunities
+      - interaction between RNGLR and follow restrictions
+      - "doomed node" optimization
+
+  - automatically collect time statistics and display
+  - serializable parse tables?
+  - better ambiguity reporting
+      - colorized tree-diffs?
+      - graphviz?
 
-  - Performance
-     - hash Long->long: it's all bogus
-
-  * pick back up cleaning up end of Parser.java (Reduction)
-
-  - [more] sensible tree-printout
+______________________________________________________________________________
+v1.1
+
+  - Treewalker code compiler?
+  - circular gramars?
+      s = A
+      A = A | "b"
+  - skeleton generator?
+  - precedes restrictions ("<-")
+  - MUST HAVE BETTER ERROR MESSAGES
+     - use for developing java15.g
+  - java15.g
+     - once this is ready, do big announcement
+  - broader regression testing (for stuff like error messages, etc)
+  - More topology untangling [later]
+  - grammar highlighting?
+  - Forest needs a "manual access" API
+      - the unwrap bit in Forest makes it really hard
+        to expose an API for forests
+  - rewriting language? multiple passes?
 
-  - revamp Tib.Block (do it all in the parser using indent/dedent?)
+______________________________________________________________________________
+v1.2
 
-  - more natural phrasing of metagrammar?
   - finalize metagrammar and rdp-op's
-
-  - decent/better error messages
-      - fix the location stuff, it's broken
-
   - write some grammars
       - Java grammar
       - TeX (math?)
       - URL (RFC)
       - RFC2822 (email message/headers)
+  - clean up the whole Walk situation (?)
 
 
 ______________________________________________________________________________
 Soon
 
-  - substring parsing for better error messages
+  - serialization of parse tables
 
-  - clean up the whole Walk situation
+  - "ambiguity modulo dropped fragments"?
+       - can this be checked statically?
+       - eliminated statically?
 
-  - "lift" cases:
-      - right now I can only lift the last child in a forest...  begs
-        the question of what the right representation for Forests is
-        if we need to be able to do lift operations on it.
+  - substring parsing for better error messages
 
   - Parameterized LR
   - "Regular Right Part" grammars (NP Chapman, etc)
   - Attribute unification
 
-  - serialization of parse tables
   - inference of rejections for literals
   - "prefer whitespace higher up" (?)
-  - "ambiguity modulo dropped fragments"?
-       - can this be checked statically?
-       - eliminated statically?
+
+  - Labeled edges on trees (associate a label with each slot in the
+    child array in Forest.Body?  might make equality tough) --
+    equivalent to Feature Structures.  Colon-labeling.
 
 ______________________________________________________________________________
 Later
 
+  - understand and implement the RNGLR "kernel state" optimization.
+    The _Practical Early Parsing_ paper may help.
+
   - Partly-Linear-PATR? (O(n^6) unification grammar)
 
   - Implement a k-token peek buffer (for each state, see if it "dead
