I actually wrote up the EBNF (ISO/IEC 14977) that was a good pazzle, but just a toy. I found no one use it to define their data format, according to the article, including ISO itself (lol!) and there are many local extension, including W3C EBNF, and those say "I'm EBNF". Well, to say the least, I feel it is quite confused. So, if you are interested in it, I don't stop you to write it up. I just keep away from it. Thank you, -- Masami Hiramatsu
