Precedence: list

This looks incorrect to me and should be rejected.  Section 2.1 paragraph 4 says:


   Tokens other than strings are considered case-insensitive.


The quantifier token is not a string (something in double-quotes), so it is considered case-insensitive.  Another example of this in the RFC is the 'not' test which appears in the example in all caps.

Status: Verified

Section: 2.3.

Original Text
-------------
   Example:  if size :over 100k { # this is a comment
                discard;
             }

Corrected Text
--------------
   Example:  if size :over 100K { # this is a comment
                discard;
             }

Notes
-----
The small "k" after the 100 is invalid syntax according the ABNF.

"8.1.  Lexical Tokens" defines a number as:

number             = 1*DIGIT [ QUANTIFIER ]
QUANTIFIER         = "K" / "M" / "G"

Either the Quantifier needs to be extended to allow also lowercase characters or the example needs to be corrected.
