The issue seems to be that there has not been enough community pressure to warrant embedding the construct into the core specification. Personally, I think it would be a nice example of a useful "extension" that might warrant some sort of IANA registry, so that there is an established library of ABNF rulesets. All this presumes continued broad use of ABNF, rather than any of the newer and presumably spiffier specification conventions... d/ -- Dave Crocker Brandenburg InternetWorking bbiw.net _______________________________________________ abnf-discuss mailing list abnf-discuss@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/abnf-discuss
