Wirth's language descriptions are quite short, primarily because he
tends to leave out a lot of important details, IMHO. That's his style.
I would expect a definition of any of Wirth's languages, suitable for
standardization, would be much longer than Wirth's original, even if
there were *no* extensions or use of VDM.
