confusion between S-expression and lists #15

Open dkg opened 1 year ago

dkg commented 1 year ago

my understanding is that an S-expression doesn't have to be a list -- it could just be a simple octet-string.

However, under the subsection Lists, it says:

Just as with octet-strings, there are several ways to represent an S-expression.

This appears to imply that only lists are S-expressions. I think it should read "…several ways to represent a list."

OK.
