abnf extracting code?

Does anyone have some code that does a good job of extracting ABNF 
information from an RFC/I-D?

If we can find some code that does a decent job, an idea for 
tools.ietf.org would be

	tools.ietf.org/abnf/RFC#

It would work just like tools.ietf.org/html/, but show the extracted 
ABNF code from the given RFC or I-D.

The tarball for Bill Fenner's ABNF validator at http://rtg.ietf.org/~fenner/ietf/bap/ 
  contains aex, which seems to work pretty well.

bap's new home is http://bap.googlecode.com/ and you can download aex  
individually at http://bap.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/aex .

Tony's idea has been implemented using Bill Fenner's 'aex':

	http://tools.ietf.org/abnf/

Re: abnf extracting code?

Yes, thanks, Henrik. http://tools.ietf.org/abnf/ is useful.

It would also be helpful if a file could be uploaded to it or a URL  
entered (as for example on
http://tools.ietf.org/rfcdiff) so that ABNF could be extracted from a  
document that is not a posted I-D or published RFC.
