Future Possibilities
Integration with O&A: The blazon parser could be integrated into a future version of the O&A’s search interface. (It would be important to note its limitations and warn people against relying on it indiscriminately.)
Generating Descriptions: The output of the blazon parser is intended for use in complex searches, but with a bit of effort it might also be able to help to automate some of the indexing work currently done manually by Morsulus.
