Dear Nicholas,

thanks for producing this parser.  Perhaps the description could include the
keywords “machine-readable” and “DEP 5” to make it easier to find.

By the way, since the version of DEP 5 that is distributed in the debian-policy
package uses extensively the word “paragraph” instead of “stanza”, perhaps you
could either update the terminology in your documentation or add a note that
stanza and parargraph are synonymous. 

Have a nice day,
