See 1.1.4 for a= description of the notation used." And RM 1.1.4(14) says: "If the name of any syntactic category starts with a= n italicized part, it is equivalent to the category name without the italic= ized part. The italicized part is intended to convey some semantic informat= ion. For example *subtype*_name and *task*_name are both equivalent to name= alone." My invention to use * as an indication of italics that I can't use here. HTH
