Ya, I left the 2 regex sections, input transformers and attribute parsing, as a
TODO since I wasnt exactly sure what best. Regex can be problematic and we
would have to define what subset or syntax would have to be supported.
Another option would be just to define a set of predefined transforms and
parsers. Like lowercase(), replaceAll(), tokenAfter() etc. This would be safer,
easier, and leave the implementation to the classifier, but obviously not as
powerful.
So definitely something to think about.

Subject: Re: Draft of 2.0 pattern spec
Looks good at first sight. Must dig a bit deeper over the weekend or next
week (after flying to SF)
Especially based on current usage of RegEx I'd like to think about that
part in the proposal.
JSON is a valid idea for a format, processing it becomes increasingly easy
for many languages, though long term persistence (one big or many small
.JSON files?) other than in popular NoSQL databases like MongoDB (if we did
we'd certainly have to think of the right DB) can be a little tricky and
requires more thoughts in that direction.
Validation and Schema, thanks to XSL a very mature aspect of XML is also
still making the first "baby steps" with JSON, no real JSON Schema defined
yet although there are ideas and plans in that direction.
