If I understand the docs, the proposed project allows one to parse or
generate flat files in different formats, the formats being defined by
a data description language - is that correct?
If so, it might help to say that both reading/writing of flat files is
supported.

It would really help to have some simple examples - and maybe some
not-so-simple examples: e.g. could it be used to parse some of the ASF
data files?

Seems to me that Commons is a suitable home for the code.
