2024-03-05-c: SP to prepare pull request to resolve issue #139 (new grammars, new README)
15:05:55 [Steven]
Steven: Should we have strict, or lax grammars? Are we interested in correctness or structure?
15:06:41 [Steven]
... Should we have policy?
15:07:19 [Steven]
Norm: Michael thought it useful to have a direct transl;ation of the RFC.
15:08:14 [Steven]
John: It is analogous to your credit card numbers.

15:09:03 [Steven]
... it is useful to have the structure and check later.
15:09:49 [Steven]
... it is better to have an understandable grammar, than an exact grammar.
15:11:15 [Steven]
Bethan: I think there's a good argument for having a strict grammar.
15:12:38 [Steven]
... it would be useful to mark lax grammars as such
15:13:12 [Steven]
Fredrik: I've met this problem before.
15:13:49 [Steven]
... When I demonstrated what I did, people criticised me
15:14:03 [Steven]
... you don;t need to check everything in a grammar.
15:14:30 [Steven]
... in our cases, we can be lax because we can assume that the input comes from elsewhere.
