Hello apps-discuss (and ART): The DISPATCH chairs asked me to post here. My co-authors (Paul Kyzivat and Chris Newman) and I have created a few drafts to improve upon ABNF for IETF use. These are: draft-seantek-abnf-more-core-rules-07 Comprehensive Core Rules and References for ABNF *** This document extends the base definition of ABNF (Augmented Backus- Naur Form) to include a reference syntax, along with core rules that provide comprehensive support for certain symbols related to ASCII. draft-seantek-constrained-abnf Constrained ABNF *** This document extends the base definition of ABNF (Augmented Backus- Naur Form) to express a rule that is constrained by another rule. If a rule B is constrained by rule A, then every production generated by rule B must also be generated by rule A. By creating subordinate production forms, ABNF-using specifications can formally denote the relationship between a general rule and specific subsets of that rule, while preserving ABNF's context-free nature. draft-seantek-unicode-in-abnf-02 Unicode in ABNF *** This experimental document adds support for Unicode strings in ABNF (Augmented Backus-Naur Form), and provides certain symbols related to Unicode code point ranges. These drafts are being discussed on abnf-discuss@, but since that is a fairly light mailing list, I would ask other participants to take a look and provide any feedback on these items. They are not ready for DISPATCHing yet, but we would like to keep them moving. Regards, Sean
