Same "For example, property_value-Tag should be interpreted
as: 'property_value:' { ws } " used for property-value tag and list example.

It would be helpful to say what <T>, <NT>, "TVP" (text value?), "BT"
(boolean tag?) stand for.

Is there a definition somewhere of what a tag is and isn't?

Improved the docs, described what the acronyms stand for, and fixed some
bold font issues. All non-terminals (NTs) should be in bold.

See what you think:

Looks better - I didn't see the expansion for NT though. Also maybe adding
a reference to BNF?
I went to check the wikipedia page
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backus%E2%80%93Naur_Form which
states "Terminals may appear in bold and NonTerminals in plain text rather
than using italics and angle brackets." Though non normative, they say this
is a commonly used rule. Do you abide by another standard/reference?
