Given that this is the only remaining issue for Concepts, I'm wondering whether we can decide what to do about this here on the mailing list instead of waiting for the next telecon. Apart from Eric all comments related to this isue suggested to not introduce BNF.

Deciding it now may allow us to vote on the request to advance Concepts to PR next week.
