<P>
971028 rd: I changed the comment initiator to '#' from '//' because a 
single symbol is easier for simple parsers.<P>

971028 rd: We also now allow extra text after &#060;group&#062;
without a comment character, because this immediately proved useful.<P>

971028 rd: I considered switching from start-end notation to
start-length notation, on the suggestion of Anders Krogh.  This seems

971028 rd: I added the section about name space.<P>

971108 rd: added ## line proposals - moved them into main text 971113.<P>

971113 rd: added extra "source" field as discussed at Newton Institute
meeting 971029.  There are two main reasons.  First, to help prevent
name space clashes -- each program would have their own source
