Possibly incorrect test for dict tag in key

[RebelusQuo]

From the official language reference:

The inline key precedes the tag. It must be a non-empty string and must not:

1. contain a line break character.
2. start with a list item, string item or key item tag,
3. start with [ or {,
4. contain a dictionary item tag, or
5. contain leading spaces (any spaces that follow the key are ignored).

From the test fixture: dict_16/load_in.nt

key::

dict_16/load_out.json (simplified)

{"key:": ""}

To me this seems like a syntax error, correct?

Unless.. I shot from the hip too early. What exactly is a "dictionary item tag"? I might have been confused by the description in the "Line-type tags" section which speaks of a single :. is the rule it can't contain : or :\n (including a space or a newline, thus a two character sequence)?

See

Line-type tags:

Most remaining lines are identified by the presence of tags, where a tag is:

    the first dash (-), colon (:), or greater-than symbol (>) on a line when followed immediately by a space or line break;

In this case there is no space or line break directly after the first :

@erikw Alright, so the root issue here is the potential of misunderstanding the earlier section. I'll suggest another wording in the parent repo.
