That purported BNF is really bizarre, since it generates the clearly
incorrect form:

   a=rid:<rid-id> <direction> <restriction>=<value><restriction>=<value>

A correct description is:

   a=rid:<rid-id> <direction> ( pt=<fmt-list> | <restriction>=<value> ) *( ; <restriction>=<value> )

The problem is that BNF doesn't allow you to directly specify what you
want to say:  (1) pt is like a parameter, but if it's present, it must
be first, and (2) there must be at least one pt or restriction.  And
there's no simple construction for "a list of one or more X's separated
by Y's".
