No good reason - so let's just follow the normal rules.
There have been no answers for:
1) Are empty tables or lists are valid?
Yes, I have no problem with empty lists and tables being valid.
�
2) What are the rules for comments within lists and tables?
I would treat them as whitespace
�
3) What exactly does "implied line joining" mean in the TABLE definition?
It has nothing to do with the other line joining we were talking about and is a complete red herring that Nick has said he will remove.
�
4) Why require single or double quotes for table index strings, rather
than just follow the normal quoting rules?
No good reason - so let's just follow the normal 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.
Actually, it would be rather good if you could post these regular expressions once we have a final specification, as they are likely to be useful to a broad audience.
