  Target Milestone: ---

In section A.1.2 (extra grammatical constraints), the part on occurrence
operators [1] introduces the term "Kleene operators".

While it may be considered common knowledge what a Kleene operator is (and
certainly it can be deducted here from the context), it is the only usage of
his name, so I suggest either to drop it, or to reference it, or to change it
to say:

"As written, the grammar in A XPath 3.1 Grammar is ambiguous for some forms
using the '+' and '*' occurrence indicators, sometimes also referred to as
Kleene operators. [...]"
