1031. Optional elements in attributes

[Voted into the WP at the March, 2011 meeting as part of paper N3262.]

An attribute-argument-clause should be allowed to consist solely of (), i.e., with no balanced-token-seq. Furthermore, the grammar for balanced-token should make the balanced-token-seq optional.

Proposed resolution (February, 2011) [SUPERSEDED]:

balanced-token-seq:
balanced-token_opt
balanced-token-seq balanced-token
