Specification Refinement

95% of eno is built on a very simple foundation which has been fully specified, implemented and stable since mid 2019.

There is a small number of intricate details which comprise the 5% of eno which are still in the process of being carefullly refined in the interest of ending up with a completely solid, bullet-proof specification.

These details are:

• Whitespace processing on associated comments is specified by this RFC, but implementations might still deviate from the described behavior because it has not yet been set in stone
• Since revision 3 the associated comments RFC also proposes comments that can be associated to the document, these are currently only implemented by the C-based libeno parser
• The RFC for the conceptual unification of Field, Fieldset and List elements. proposes a different conceptual hierarchy and terminology around the Field element, which is currently only used by the C-based libeno parser. This change does not affect existing or future documents at all but will require a substantial one-time effort to update all documentation resources, tools and parsers, hence will take a while to be adopted globally.
