Greetings,
Two comments.

The keyword private should not be in the BNF. It should be replace there
with the keyword local. This keyword is in Annex B.

The keyword handle should be replaced with chandle in the BNF. It is in
Annex B.

"DPI" is clearly not a keyword. It is a string literal.

Randomize is NOT a keyword and should not be in Annex B. Its appearance in
the BNF is strange at best. It is a method name that can be used within a
class (there are a number of them) that is predefined. BNF seems or at least
not clear.

endsequence and endproperty are clearly missing from the BNF.

I will add all of your issues and corrections to the list of open items and
changes for Draft 4.

Regards
David
