The change would need to instead be, in delay_value, ADD

            | time_literal

A related question is why time_literal prohibits real numbers
that that have exponents? This seems like an artificial
restriction. Additionally, the fixed_point_number terminology
introduced in the 3.0 BNF is not correct.

How about removing fixed_point_number, rolling back the
real_number BNF to 1364, and in time_literal replacing
fixed_point_number with real_number?
