DOCBOOK: Offtopic: EBNF equivelant for describing bitstreams

[BigSmoke <bigsmoke@home.nl>]

Does anyone know of an EBNF equivelant for describing bitstreams.
I'm asking since I've recently switched to EBNF for describing my syntactic
blocks, I've saved lots of time, especially since I can now generate
railroad diagrams automatically from my EBNF (Before I read about EBNF,
I didn't even know of railroad diagrams).
  I love the use of EBNF in a refsynopsisdiv.

I'm asking this in this list because noone else, anwhere else seems to know,
and I thought: Heck, if someone knows it, it must be one of those fanatics
trying to write semantically correct mark-up.
  I've searched the web for hours and spend additional hours browsing
dir.google.com, which makes me just as happy with an answer which tells me
that there just isn't a standard method to do what I want to do.

If there's not some meta-language to describe bitstreams, I'd appreciate any
pointers on how to mark up this type of information in DocBook.

The smallest bitstream blocks which I need to describe are one bit in size; I
think that rules out EBNF.

Thanks in advance for any sound advice and suggestions,
