Re: [lojban] CLL: I'd like to drop the formal grammars.

Having it there would make possible to check how ther language is supposed to be parsed. I agree it's not easy and would require a deep understanding on how the grammar has been implemented, however it would serve as a basis for any possible discussion on formal grammars.

If you simply put it in a file somewhere on the 'Net, how can you guarantee that a future reader of CLL will have access to the right version?

If I remember correctly the YACC grammar had to be tweakened somehow to resolve some ambiguity that the EBNF still had.

Removing the chapter on formal grammar would only save 30-40 pages, I guess. I would prefer to continue having them in.

Reference for who? Who is actually going to type out the YACC or
the PEG from the book, or indeed make any other use of it from the
book?
