Proposal:

Hide

Remove the "#" in the ExternalNamedExpression syntax in 5.11, so that it is now

"""
ExternalNamedExpression ::=Source (SimpleNamedExpression | SheetLocalNamedExpression)
"""

Show
Remove the "#" in the ExternalNamedExpression syntax in 5.11, so that it is now """ ExternalNamedExpression ::=Source (SimpleNamedExpression | SheetLocalNamedExpression) """
Resolution:

Hide

Remove the "#" in the ExternalNamedExpression syntax in 5.11, so that it is now

"""
ExternalNamedExpression ::=Source (SimpleNamedExpression | SheetLocalNamedExpression)

Show
Remove the "#" in the ExternalNamedExpression syntax in 5.11, so that it is now """ ExternalNamedExpression ::=Source (SimpleNamedExpression | SheetLocalNamedExpression)

In the Section 5.11 Syntax for ExternalNamedExpression, the rule is:

"""
ExternalNamedExpression ::=Source '#' (SimpleNamedExpression | SheetLocalNamedExpression)
"""

But in Section 5.6, Reference, Source is defined as

Source ::= "'" IRI "'" "#"

which introduces a second "#" into the ExternalNamedExpression.

I am assuming this is a mistake.
