Such things as sgml comments, ignored chars, DTD contents etc. are not
included into grove created by jade. But you can access is at more low
level (you have to inherit new class from ParserApp and process all the
Event callbacks related).

I managed to create the interface for Scheme programming language, and
successfully used it in three working applications. Using it, for
example, I can assemble back literally exact copy of any SGML document.

Initially the interface designed for MzScheme package and tested on
Unix, now it ported to Bigloo (in alpha-pre-release).

I plan to get sources publicly available as soon as I write some more
documentation.
