Pretty disappointing coming from a standards body. I did manage to find
this, but I don't think the SVG committee got that memo.
http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml/#sec-notation
Parse::EBNF appears to be working after a slight patching to the
rule-naming assumption from qr/[A-Z][a-zA-Z]*/ to qr/[a-zA-Z-_]+/
Whee! Now I'll see if it does me any good. Guess I've got to feed it
to Lex or Parse::Lex or something now.
Thanks,
Eric
