We at IPTC have a rule for the syntax design: don't support expressing the same semantic assertion by syntax variants differently. The reason is quite simple: a parser has to check all syntax variants before statements can be retrieved from a document - and this makes parsers more complex and expensive. With that background I don't support such shortcuts - what is the real benefit? To have less characters in a policy document? This drove an IPTC team to create a standard in 2008 with "properties not longer than 12 characters" - today we say "that's history" and add properties with 20 characters. -- GitHub Notification of comment by nitmws Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/poe/issues/184#issuecomment-310095943 using your GitHub account
