There is an ISO standard EBNF (ISO/IEC 14977:1996(E), see
http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/iso-14977.pdf).
It contains some unhappy features, such as the iuse of , as
a concatenation operator and allowing nonterminal names with
spaces in them.


Has anybody ever used this version of EBNF, or ever seen it used
in a book or paper?
