Subject: [9fans] OT: DTD to yacc spec?

I've looked at several xml parsers and I found them all to
be too general. They want to be all-encompassing parsers
for any DTDs that are thrown at them.

In my area of applications, however, systems exchange
XML files conforming to a particular DTD; once the DTD
is agreed upon, we need no generality. Instead we need
speed and space efficiency.

I guess I am looking for a tool that can convert a DTD into
a good old yacc grammar spec (I would still need to provide
actions, though). Does anybody know of such a tool?
