Re: BBC Parsing

Sounds awesome Josh
I've looked at, and implemented, two different "3rd" party parsers with good results. Good in that it seemed to parse whatever I threw at it. The downside was that there were both to slow as compared to the current function (which got some micro opto love to squeeze a bit more out of if).
I think they just ended up with two many object or whatever floating around, the biggest disappointment was they are also much slower for a post with no BBC, so plain text posts, lagged behind by a double digit percentage.
Anyway IMO its fine for a replacement to be a bit slower than what we have now if it gives us more readability, maintainability, extensibility, and any other ibilty's that I forgot 
I have a few test cases that I can toss at it when you get a bit further along, looking forward to it !!!
