Description Mary Holstege 2006-10-05 19:48:16 UTC
A term like "FTSelection" is rendered in the semantics section as a
term (display in bold) as rather than a reference to the EBNF (display
as link).  But many of these terms don't actually appear in the term list (there is no termdef for them). For some of them, it isn't clear whether 
they are in fact referring to the EBNF or to elements of the semantics
schema, or something else, so it isn't clear whether linking to the EBNF is
correct.  

We need to decide whether these should be linked as non-terminals, terms, or 
something else, and make the semantics section consistent with this decision.
Comment 1 Mary Holstege 2006-11-13 19:31:48 UTC
The WG agreed that we should be consistent and that in the semantics section, many uses of apparent non-terminals are referring to semantic concepts and a distinct presentation (i.e. bold) is appropriate.  Closed with no further action.
