I've added that comments are terminated by 0x0D or 0x0A (if there are multiple such characters, then they would be considered as white space in a part of the grammar where white space is only considered as token separators). I've also added that a comment is treated as white space and comments separate tokens. > > Second comment: > Established practice in languages has moved away from line-terminated > comments.

In an earlier design, comment forms of single and multiline forms were included. The working group was more in favour of just one form and to follow the style of scripting languages. > > Fred Zemke > I hope this addresses your comments - please let us know if it does. Andy
