Proposals related to special characters in CIF2 tags:

1.  implicitly defined element tags

1.1.  For any CIF 2 tag that defines an array or a list the appearance
of the array or list definition in the dictionary would implicitly
also define tags for each of the array or list elements using the
square bracket notation.

Agreed.  There is potential for misunderstanding here which I will address in a separate reply.



Actually, not agreed.  The parser would assign values to the individual elements, so there is no need for any implicit definitions of each array element.
