There is one particular bit of syntax that is currently used in the SSSOM/T ruleset that I would like to disallow in the upcoming version of SSSOM/Java. Specifically, the dereferencing of a variable enclosed in angled brackets, as in:
It should either be
%TAXREL
(no angled brackets, preferred form as it is more readable) or<%{TAXREL}>
(angled brackets + variable name enclosed in curly brackets — cumbersome, but more consistent throughout SSSOM/T).The first form is already allowed with current versions of SSSOM-Java, so we can switch to it immediately without breaking anything. And this will ensure nothing will also break when the upcoming SSSOM-Java will land in the ODK.
