      We will clarify that, in the case that there is a discrepancy between the grammar and what is written in the language reference, the language reference is considered correct until the discrepancy is clarified and addressed.  I think this makes sense because the language reference is more specific than the grammar.  The grammar is looser than the language reference since many things are enforced in the parser, not the grammar.

      Is the formal grammar part of the formal definition of the spec? If so, in the case of discrepancies, which one is leading?

      Existing Wording:

      FSH has a formal grammar defined in ANTLR4.
