given enough examples you could almost have automatically
generated grammars.
This decoupled approach is problematic. A large part of the point
of libxo is to allow changing the human-readable output without
breaking tools that consume the output. Now I need to keep the
tool that consumes it and the tool that produces it in sync, so
that's an extra set of moving parts. When you throw jails with
multiple versions of world into the mix, it becomes a recipe for
disaster.
why? the jail has it own /usr/share?

I think the risk is exactly opposite. That the human readable
output will change subtly with bugs in the xo implementation.
and people will not update the two output paths in exactly the same
way, leading bugs. I'm not going to fight on it, but I am
uncomfortable with it. You are increasing the complexity of every
program you touch.
