Wild guess: it’s a combination of * Prior knowledge tells you that a polygon is defined by multiple points so repetition is obvious * The grammar is vaguely BNF-like * No other grammar syntax that one has seen elsewhere has syntax that implies that some input characters are required, without using these characters (For what it’s worth, for example Rust macros use `$( foo )*` for repetition and `$( foo ),*` for comma-separated repetition.) * The "This specification follows the CSS property definition conventions from [CSS21]" bit is in a boilerplate section that no-one reads, far from the grammar definitions. And it doesn’t even associate grammar syntax with css-values. -- GitHub Notification of comment by SimonSapin Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/381#issuecomment-237711502 using your GitHub account
