Good morning Tom;

<p>About 9 years ago I saw a paper on a commercial tool that did this.
I believe the syntax was closer to yacc though. Maybe that's a
tool for Cadence to write :)

There was one person who had tried to convert the BNF to a working
grammar. He was unwilling to allow others to use it though.

I had made a comment before that instead of BNF, we write in yacc -
allowing checking of the grammar. I think that until we do something
along these lines, the grammar described in the specification will
always have these holes - no verification, no guarantees.
