+    <li><em>ANTLR Front End</em>. We need to investigate the use of

+    Recognition) as a possible front end lexer/parser for HLVM. Ideally I would
+    like to see a set of C++ constructs to make mapping from a source language
+    to the HLVM AST very simple. For example, a simple set of macros or
+    functions that build an HLVM AST could be used as the semantic actions for a
+    grammar. This task is to analyze the suitability of ANTLR for HLVM.</li>
     <li><em>RNG->XHTML XSLT Stylesheet</em>. We will use the Relax/NG grammar
     for the XML version of the AST to document the AST. However, the Relax/NG
     specification is not particularly user friendly. What we need is a way to

     <li><em>Yaml Reader/Writer</em>. We intend to support a reader and
     writer of the AST in Yaml syntax. Some people just don't like XML and having
     an alternate way to build the AST from a nicer-to-read source would be
