Thanks for the pointers, but you're right that it doesn't answer
my question.  My concern is with the specification of the
grammar, which I believe to be incomplete (and therefore
unimplementable as an LALR parser in a manner which
guarantees interoperability) as there is no specified set of
precedence relationships necessary to resolve the existing
conflicts (ideally, there are no conflicts in a well-designed
grammar).
