RE: ACTION-88 optional comma and ambiguity in syntax.

Dear fragmenters,

Correct me if I'm wrong, but expanding the rewriting proposed by Yves (bracket missing?), I see the 5 possibilities below to express a "npt temporal fragment":

1- npttimedef   = [ deftimeformat ":"]  clocktime 
2- npttimedef   = [ deftimeformat ":"]  clocktime  ","
3- npttimedef   = [ deftimeformat ":"]  clocktime  "," clocktime 
4- npttimedef   = [ deftimeformat ":"] ","
5- npttimedef   = [ deftimeformat ":"]  "," clocktime

To me:
1 corresponds to a fragment from a start position (given by clocktime) to the end of stream
2 seems useless and redundant with 1
3 corresponds to a fragment between a start and an end time
4 seems useless (no fragment here) 
5 corresponds to a fragment from the beginning of the stream to a given end time.

Considering this, would the following syntax work ?
npttimedef   = [ deftimeformat ":"]  ( 	(clocktime ["," clocktime])
					/("," clocktime)	)

Best regards,
