Review of open actions

2024-03-05-c: SP to prepare pull request to resolve issue #139 (new grammars, new README)

Steven: Should we have strict, or lax grammars? Are we interested in correctness or structure?
… Should we have policy?

Norm: Michael thought it useful to have a direct translation of the RFC.

John: It is analogous to your credit card numbers.
… it is useful to have the structure and check later.
… it is better to have an understandable grammar, than an exact grammar.

Bethan: I think there's a good argument for having a strict grammar.
… it would be useful to mark lax grammars as such

Fredrik: I've met this problem before.
… When I demonstrated what I did, people criticised me
… you don't need to check everything in a grammar.
… in our cases, we can be lax because we can assume that the input comes from elsewhere.

Status reports

Norm: Working on a new release.

Steven: My server is back.
