[r6rs-discuss] Lexical Syntax

[Alan Watson]

A <string element> can be:

   \<intraline whitespace><line ending><intraline whitespace>

in which <intraline whitespace> is:

   <character tabulation> | <any character whose category is Zs>

I am confused by this. Do the editors really intend to require that 
there be exactly one intraline white space character between the \ and 
the line ending and exactly one after the line ending? Should it not be 
possible to have zero or more than one?

Regards,

Alan
