Re: [EDITS] special values

[ramsdell@linus.mitre.org (John D. Ramsdell)]

One more <ident> --> <unquoted-string> change.

Under the section on Message formats, please change

Values that match the syntax of an identifier (as specified by the
<ident> nonterminal in the grammar given in the appendix) may be sent
without quoting; other values (for example, those that contain spaces)
must be quoted as strings. However, values have no inherent type. The
values sent as 3 and "3" are equivalent. It is up to the handler for a
given message to determine whether the value is to be treated as a
number or as a string.

In total, there are three <ident> changes requested.
