Several protocols have been specified using a common variant of the
Backus-Naur Form (BNF) of representing message syntax. However, there
is no formal definition of this version of BNF.
There is value in using the same variant of BNF for the set of
protocols that are commonly used together. This reduces confusion and
simplifies implementation.
Updating exsting documents to use some other variant of BNF that is
already formally documented would be a substantial piece of work.
This document provides a formal deinition of the variant of BNF that
has been used (called Reduced BNF), and makes it available for use by
new protocols.
