Liam Quin and Ian Graham have an excellent appendix on EBNF for XML in their _XML Specification Guide_ (Wiley, 1999). > > ExprToken ::= '(' | ')' | '[' | ']' | '.' | '..' | '@' | ',' | '::' > | NameTest > | NodeType > | Operator > | FunctionName > | AxisName > | Literal > | Number > | VariableReference > -- Francois Lachance Post-doctoral Fellow projet HYPERLISTES project http://www.humanities.mcmaster.ca/~hyplist/ XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
