Abstract
By the means on its annotations, Syntax Definition Formalism (SDF) seems to be extensible: the user is tempted to tailor its grammar syntax by adding new annotation kinds. Unfortunately the standard SDF crunching tools from Stratego/XT do not support the extension of SDF, and the user has to develop the whole set of tools for her home grown extension(s). We present the SDF tool set that provides ``weak genericity with respect to the grammar grammar: support for arbitrary SDF annotations. We would like to contribute it to Stratego/XT since its components subsume their stock peers. Finally, we present a set of four extensions we find useful.
