I was just told by three people in this echo that I should, and that ABNF
should not be used at all.

I posted his latest (which was the FIRST draft #3 posted in this echo) with all
the fixes you and him worked on a year ago. Once I posted it all the ABNF
referencing became confusing to a few people in this echo and they all
suggested referencing FTS-0001 instead.

That sure as hell didn't seem to be possible here in this echo. Even the FTSC
coordinator gave me said advice I mentioned above. *shrug*

I still have the original document here, unmodified. Draft #4 could easily be
deleted, but it doesn't seem like a few here would accept the original (one of
them being the FTSC chair and the host of the document website).

So what do you do then?

Regards,
Nick
