Description Abel Braaksma 2013-07-22 23:01:48 UTC 
Currently, the production is described as follows:

MapExpr := "{" (KeyExpr ":" ValueExpr ("," KeyExpr ":" ValueExpr )*)? "}"
KeyExpr := ExprSingle
ValueExpr := ExprSingle

For standard EBNF W3C-style, I believe this should have "::=" instead for the assignment operator. Also, the layout it different from other EBNF productions in the same spec.
Comment 1 Michael Kay 2013-07-31 16:47:13 UTC 
Fixed to mimic the standard layout more closely. It's still a simulation, because the map expression syntax isn't integrated with the grammar machinery - this would require defining a complete grammar rather than merely a delta to the XPath 3.0 grammar.
