[CWB] A formal specification of CQL?

[Hardie, Andrew]

I see!  That ticket is now here (due to sourceforge changing the tracker software):

http://sourceforge.net/p/cwb/feature-requests/46/

Actually, I'm going to close it as WONTFIX: there seems little point in spending a lot of time writing about file formats that we are going to chuck  out in versions 3.9 and 4, and I will document the new file formats as I'm in the process of inventing them...

Andrew.

PS thanks for that parser state diagram. It confirms what I always suspected, to be frank.
