Sure. SimpleParse generates the table for you as Mike
already outlined.

For the simple grammar you have in mind, you could just
as well hand code the tag table to suit your needs.
It is pretty straight forward and if you use the latest beta
of egenix-mx-base you even get string labels for free which
makes writing these a lot easier (also, you can then have
mxTextTools parse native Unicode no case you should ever
want to do that).
