My new blog post: is about top-down versus bottom-up parsing.  It takes a conceptual approach, and I think is a new point of view on the matter.

"A quite useable parser based on the Marpa algorithm is available..."

You've taken understatement to a ridiculous level! I would have said something like: An effective and efficient parser implementing these ideas, which is already very successful, is available...".

Also, I'd remove 1 word: "we just simply build one subparse" => "we simply build one subparse".

Thanks!  I deliberately backed off a bit in this one on the talk about Marpa, thinking to aim it more at people who are focused on the topics discussed in parsing texts and lectures.
