ABNF: comments #11
Description
ABNF allows comments using ; as a delimiter to signal a comment to the end of the line.
This seems to be supported inline in a rule; e.g., this works:
foorule = bar ; this is a comment
/ baz
but if the comment is on the last line of a rule, it will fail; e.g., either of these forms:
foorule = bar ; this is a comment
foorule = bar ; this is a comment
/ baz ; more commenting

This is because
$sepisn't being produced for the double newline, because the comment zone swallows its newline character. I think it'd be best to try to reimplement the whitespace handling, and hopefully get rid of the need for a double newline.
