There have been no answers for: 1) Are empty tables or lists are valid? 2) What are the rules for comments within lists and tables? 3) What exactly does "implied line joining" mean in the TABLE definition? 4) Why require single or double quotes for table index strings, rather than just follow the normal quoting rules? Some of these are more technical details compared to the other issues. These came up while I was working on a big CIF2 regular-expression, where parsing details have to be considered more carefully.
