There is a deeper issue here that I did not point out explicitly. Alan said: "I believe that the lexical grammar is defined by the formal grammar in 4.2.1 modified by the rest of 4.2." Why have a formal grammar that is then modified by informal text? I had thought instead that the lexical grammar is defined by the formal grammar in 4.2.1, and that the rest of 4.2 is explaining the definition of the grammar (which is very different from modifying it). I personally do not care how we resolve the issue of case sensitivity in these cases, but I think it is important that we resolve how to go about interpreting the R6RS in general. Either there is a bug in the formal grammar, or we are going to agree to this method of interpretation where we informally modify the formal grammar. -Felix _______________________________________________ r6rs-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.r6rs.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/r6rs-discuss
