Yes. Let the ABNF define the notation and let the prose focus on the semantics. The grammar isn't good enough unless a 100%-compliant recognizer can be automatically generated from it. Being able to understand the ABNF is a precondition for understanding the spec. Consequently, any description of the syntax in the prose is superfluous at best, and misleading at worst. - BrianReceived on Saturday, 2 May 2009 00:40:41 UTC
