Methinks the only 'spell-check-able' word for this is:

	non-interpretable

In many cases, the correct negative is 'non-' rather than 'un'.

Unfortunately, parsable, parseable, etc., are not (yet) words so
they can't be negated with 'non-'.

I don't know what's wrong with "unparsable", but there are quite a few
other spelling glitches in net/*.  The last line of 
diffstat -p1 patch-net:

I'll send the actual patch (48KB) to Dave M. and Jeff G. in case someone
wants to apply this.
