I don't understand. Change what? Altering what?

I don't recall that an existing NML parsers exists (I am aware of Pynt,
which is a NDL parser, and perfSONAR-PS and perfSONAR-MDM, which are NM
parsers).

But let's for a moment assume such a parser exists, all I am saying is
that it would be useful useful to DOCUMENT its behaviour.

I'm not asking for whatever behaviour you think is desirable to change,
altered or jump through loops. I'm asking for whatever is out there (or
is going to be written) to be documented.

Really.

Please don't mix in other discussions. It is complicating enough getting
the two of us on the same par. :)
