I'm not arguing about the usefulness of a partial EBNF description. I'm
merely pointing out that the syntax is not context-free. Here is an
example:

    # This is a comment (1)

    #+begin_example
    # This is not a comment (2)
    #+end_example

AFAICT, you cannot distinguish between lines (1) and (2) with EBNF.

Regards,
