I have slightly modified the example serialization in the spec to ensure it covers all node types and all serialization rules: A (necessarily contrived) example grammar that illustrates the serialization rules is: expr: open, -arith, @close, -";". @open: "(". close: ")". arith: left, op, ^right. left: operand. -right: operand. -operand: name; -number. @name: ["a"-"z"]. @number: ["0"-"9"]. -op: sign. @sign: "+"; "-". Applied to the string (a+1); it yields the serialisation <expr open='(' sign='+' close=')'> <left name='a'/> <right>1</right> </expr> Points to note: how the semicolon is suppressed from the serialization; the two ways open and close have been defined as attributes; similarly the two ways left and right have been defined as elements; how number appears as content and not as an attribute; and how sign being an exposed attribute appears on its nearest non-hidden ancestor.
