Re: Updated issue list

It still doesn't seem like two separate issues to me.  How about the 
following as a statement of the issue?

At the moment the only way to reference a named pattern in an external 
grammar is by using a pattern of the form

<grammar>
  <include href="u">
    <start>
      <ref name="n"/>
    </start>
  </include>
</grammar>

This is a little complicated and makes it tricky for implementors to avoid 
rereading the grammar for each such <include>.  Should we do something 
about this, and if so what?
