Description Michael Dyck 2005-07-16 21:02:17 UTC 
4.8 [For/FLWR] Expressions

"a sequence of ForClauses and LetClauses, followed by an optional
WhereClause, followed by the , as described by ..."
    Missing stuff after "followed by the".

"The dynamic semantics ... is not specified formally. The dynamic
semantics is not specified formally ..."
    This is rather repetitive.

Core Grammar
[37 (Core)] OrderSpecList ::= OrderSpec ("," OrderSpec)*
    4.8.4 / Norm / rule 3 assumes a right-recursive definition, e.g.:
        ... ::= OrderSpec | OrderSpec "," OrderSpecList
Comment 1 Jerome Simeon 2006-04-17 00:09:29 UTC 
Fixed as suggested. Modified normalization rules for OrderSpecList not to rely on the recursive grammar.
