Use of & would also make it slightly harder to embed iXML in XML. My first thought was actually × or x, ala good old Perl, but that would depend on (say) -letter x (3, 5) not being ambiguous. Allowing a range operator other than comma may also help - -letter x (3 .. 5) for example. Although i suggested @ i don’t have strong feelings really, whatever works. iXML is already far enough away from BNF/EBNF that people have to learn it. -- Liam Quin: Delightful Computing - Training and Consultancy in XSLT / XML Markup / Typography / CSS / Accessibility / and more...
