In spec grammar, alias delimiter ">" should be hidden #250

Open cmsmcq opened 4 months ago

cmsmcq commented 4 months ago

In the spec dated 2024-04-30, and the accompanying ixml specification grammar, the rule for naming is given as:

-naming: (mark, s)?, name, s, (">", s, alias, s)?.

I think the literal ">" should be hidden and the rule should be:

-naming: (mark, s)?, name, s, (-">", s, alias, s)?.

If there is a reason for preserving the delimiter in the XML form of the grammar, I am not seeing it.

(This may be useful as an example for any future effort to create regression tests for the ixml specification grammar, if only to illustrate that continuing to parse existing grammars in the same way does not quite show the absence of slip-ups.)

You are right
