The BNF definition in abcbnfx.htm was an attempt from my side to describe the (at that time, 1997) proposed extensions in BNF. It does contain the ! as a line breaker, but only at the end of a line, not in the middle of it. I hadn't understood until today that it was actually allowed in the middle of a line too. BTW, nobody reacted to that specification for more than five years, so whose is the booboo? Now I've actually made a new, much more strict BNF specification of Abc 2.0, see separate mail.
