Usually a seller doesn't add VAT to B2B invoices into the EU, VAT is accounted for by the purchaser under the 'reverse charge' system. B2C is different, they would need to charge the local VAT rate in each member state. I suspect they simply haven't gotten around to supporting it yet.

It depends on your regex engine. The author here is concatenating all of the paths into a single pattern, an automata based engine would ideally compile away the disjunction and offer performance linear with the input path length.

Neat idea! It looks like the NLTK POS tagger is having trouble here so might limit your recall when used as a filter.

Instead I wonder if it would be better to use the context of each token to mine significant ngrams from the rest of Shakespeare's work and filter for rhymes with a phoenetic hash like Metaphone.
