Hello ABNF-discuss:

A new draft of Comprehensive Core Rules and References for ABNF has been 
posted. Thanks in advance to all those who have provided feedback thus far.

In this draft-07 (and draft-06, which had some typos and unclear parts 
that have since been addressed), the syntax for a "referenced rule" is 
rulename@RULEREF, where RULEREF can be a document such as

   URI@[RFC3986]

or a path such as

name-part@<https://raw.githubusercontent.com/antlr/grammars-v4/master/abnf/examples/postal.abnf>

. The syntax has evolved a similar way to how e-mail addresses have 
evolved (e.g., from RFC 733).

There was material about doing Unicode in ABNF in draft-05 (Appendix B); 
that material has been forked to a different draft (under development).

Comments and feedback are welcome.

Best regards,

Sean
