Issue 5809: Issue : Section 6.3 (hutn-ftf) Source: (, ) Nature: Uncategorized Issue Severity: Summary: Issue : Section 6.3 : Ambiguous meaning when omitting opening and closing brackets In 6.3 in the first paragraph it's said that opening and closing brackets should be optionnaly omitted if the instance has no contents. This is error prone and ambiguous since one cannot distinguish between a definition without contents from a contained instance whose definition (full representation) is forwarded. Suggestion for resolution: remove the sentence (open and close brackets are not allowed to be omitted). Resolution: see below Revised Text: In section 6.3, in production rule 6, replace ( ('{' 11:ClassContents '}') | ';' ) with '{' 11:ClassContents '}' (';')? __________________________________________________________________ In section 6.3, in the first paragraph following production rule [12], remove the following sentence: "If there are no representations appearing in the class contents, then the opening and closing braces may optionally be replaced by a semicolon."
