Migrate the discussion of delimiter options, which is mostly of historical interest, to the bottom of the SRFI.
The SRFI format has a fixed list of sections. Adding extra sections (like an appendix) isn't strictly prohibited, but I haven't seen it in SRFIs. Regardless, it seems the discussion of delimiter options logically belongs in the Rationale section. Perhaps tweaking the introductory paragraph would help? Perhaps something like: This specification uses "&" as marker/delimiter character. Alternative marker characters were also considered, and this mostly-historical section explains why we chose "&". The discussion also considers SRFI-109, and refers to the non-terminals defined in the syntax specifications of both SRFI-108 and SRFI-109. -- --Per Bothner per@xxxxxxxxxxx http://per.bothner.com/
