A grammar for HTML5

Fortunately, I have spent a great deal of time over the past ten years learning about parsing and its security aspects, and I believe I can give here a very succinct grammar for HTML5.

A few preliminaries. I will be using a variant of Backus-Naur Form (BNF) grammars, in which “.” will denote any single input character, and postfix “*” will denote zero or more repetitions of the preceding construct (Kleene closure). I will use capitalized identifiers for the nonterminals of the grammar.

Here then is the grammar of HTML 5:

    HTML5 = .*

this succinct rule set (.*) reminds me of a quote "the vodka is good but the meat is rotten" ( via https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Literal_translation#Translator's_humor )

"repology-updater/issues/784# Tiny core linux" https://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php/topic,26273.0.html

also wrt parsing it appears the above grammar could also work for repo's .tcz.info files   

the current info files are intended for human consumption as plain text
not for programmatic / machine readability & processing

the latter obviously implies "trying to parse the info"
....
seams more likely to bring machine readability to info fles / the reop

Yes, adopting a standard would increase machine readability.
