Well, "can be parsed" would be more grammatical.  An obvious example is

Other people request the "optimization" of a cake that can be had and 
eaten too, investments that are both safe and have a high return,  or 
algorithms that are both fast and require no data structure overhead 
:-)     I think Robin explained this well -- different stakeholders in 
the new W3C WG have different things they need to optimize, and it's 
not clear what is possible or desirable.
