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:
