     Eric,
     
     The BNF most definitely is not sufficient by itself for a parser.
     Not every syntax allowed by the BNF is actually legal.
     That was a deliberate decision of the Working Group.
     I think that in most of those cases, the text of the LRM contains additional
     restrictions.
     
     Shalom
     
     
    > I'm about to bombard you with some more errata items. It's almost as though nobody has built a parser based directly on the BNF in the spec. Or maybe they didn't report the errors.
