Is there a formal grammer / spec for this?
Wondering if there is a grammar / spec for this or do we just guess stuff from the articles?
What exactly is there to "guess" based on the amount of explicit examples?
Not having a proper specification is a huge problem that can lead to incompatible implementations down the road. Like markdown parsers are widely known to be inconsistent due to ambiguity in the spec that every implementor has to deal with.
There should be a well defined spec with versioning that removes all room for ambiguity.
An example is of how json is documented: https://www.json.org/json-en.html
