I've noticed a syntactic ambiguity in productions 49/50 that could be
troublesome for parsers even though it has an obvious interpretation.
If "children" has the form "(Name)", i.e., it's a singleton, then it can
be interpreted either as a choice or as a seq. One cure would be to
replace the *s in P49/P50 by +s and to add a production P50A:
singleton ::= '(' S? cp ')'
and modify P47 and P48 to include "singleton" in the list of choices for
particles.
