But if, say, we had a Tokenizer that recognizes hostnames/URLs, one that 
recognizes email addresses, one for proper names/places/date/time, other app 
dependent stuff like detecting part numbers and what not, then ideally one 
could simply cascade/compose these tokenizers at will to build up whatever 
"initial" tokenizer you need for you chain?

I think our current lack of composability of the initial tokenizer ("there can 
be only one") makes cases like this hard...

I agree that sounds like a "cool" idea to have, but at the same time, we should 
try to not make analysis the "wonder-do-it-all" machine.
I mean some stuff belongs in the app, and i think that includes a lot of things 
you mentioned... e.g. the app can do "NER" and pull
out proper names/places/dates and put them in separate fields.

I don't think the analysis chain is the easiest or best place to do this, i 
would prefer if we tried to keep the complexity down and recognize
that some things (really a lot of this "recognizer" stuff) might be better 
implemented in the app.

> It would be really nice for StandardTokenizer to adhere straight to the 
> standard as much as we can with jflex. Then its name would actually make 
> sense.
> Such a transition would involve renaming the old StandardTokenizer to 
> EuropeanTokenizer, as its javadoc claims:
> bq. This should be a good tokenizer for most European-language documents
> The new StandardTokenizer could then say
> bq. This should be a good tokenizer for most languages.
> All the english/euro-centric stuff like the acronym/company/apostrophe stuff 
> can stay with that EuropeanTokenizer, and it could be used by the european 
> analyzers.
