I would suggest you clone parslet (kschiess/parslet.git) and try running 
the specs on 1.8.6 before going further into this. If all specs run, 
then indeed I will invest time. But I am guessing that parslet and 1.8.6 
are just not made for each other. I would sure accept well formed 
patches that introduce 1.8.6 compatibility - but won't provide those 
myself.

Thank you for your kind words. As much as parslet is a library, it is 
also a testament to how I think Ruby libraries should be made; So your 
compliments mean that I am perhaps not alone in thinking so.

And on a more practical note: You have understood the decoupling between 
parser and transformer well and the fact that you chose not to use the 
latter might just be the best decision for your project!
