I was following your links onto Object Mentor and I stumbled onto 
this:

Evolution of Test and Code Via Test-First Design
Jeff Langr
objectmentor.com, 2001
http://www.objectmentor.com/resources/articles/tfd.pdf

Presented at OOPSLA Fall 2001. A detailed demonstration of 
test-first design, showing the iterative development of a CSV 
parser/reader utility class in Java. Discusses how test coverage 
was increased by the test-first design process.

This sounds pretty close to the original posters question about 
OO parsers.

I agree with John.  I read Rebecca's new book, and I loved it.  The
book teaches me a mindset on design in contrast to other OO design
materials that gives me "the essential list of principles".  I
haven't read her old one so I can't compare.  Throughout reading her
book, one thing that keeps popping up in my mind is that : there is
no holy grail.  Rebecca tries to teach principles, but she keeps
emphasizing trade offs and creativity.

Here are some sites with good papers:
