       Then RE implementations may use the grammar except BNF notation.
       For example the interpretation (1c) which Paul said is also valid.
       And RE implementations may also use Right-associative grammar, since
       they describe the same syntax.

Is your point that the language of the spec is poor?  Or that all
those interpretations should be permitted?  With the former, I agree.
That the latter is not the case is, I think, underscored by Hume's
message.
