Hey all,

I've received very consistent feedback that the section on basic shape
syntax is too difficult to interpret. So I've substituted the previous
definitions for prose descriptions:

This:

rectangle([<length>|<percentage>][, [<length>|<percentage>]]{3,5})

Becomes this:

rectangle() takes either four or six arguments of <length> or <percentage>


The prose also refers now to the rules for functional notation from Values
and Units [1], which actually makes the definition more precise (what was
in the draft before did not account for optional whitespace within the
parentheses).

Thanks,

Alan
