Yes, you're right. Since that's the case, such an address would not be very useful in 822, so the proposal from Mark Crispin would not really break anything except for disallowing comments between tokens -- does anybody know of a system that generates comments between tokens in an address? I would not complain if these were disallowed too since the benefit of simpler syntax seems to outweigh the need for embedded comments (I don't think I've ever seen one except in 822 itself). Mike
