The latest changes to the syntaxes draft are purely editorial.

- A missing reference to ISO 8601 has been added.

- Text clarifying the <fraction> part of a GeneralizedTime has
  been added:

   If <minute> is omitted then <fraction> represents a fraction of an
   hour, otherwise if <second> and <leap-second> are omitted then
   <fraction> represents a fraction of a minute, otherwise <fraction>
   represents a fraction of a second.

- The reference for ABNF has been changed to rfc2234bis.

- The boilerplate has been updated to the current requirements.

- Kathy's contribution is recognized in the Acknowledgements rather
  than the list of authors.

Steven
