If I understand your question... there are no semantic differences. The
following would all be valid:


za dog plane4 result=56.0
ztop all1 rick34 jane cat65abc car truck value=30e3
zhill car_34 table jet bug bear_45 num=34


The associated regular expression that would match COLOR NAME and PARAM is:
[a-z0-9]+[_a-z0-9]*
