14 Offhand the 'package name' part is wrong/incomplete, pretty sure even
15 PMS says that they can't start/end with underscores or dashes (it's a
16 real PITA to get it right).
17 Haven't really read the non-terminals section as it's hard to read in
18 this form, using EBNF or some markup language might help with that.
