   They want to maintain hierarchical categories like "iteration statement"   
   and "selection statement" as part of the language definition.   
      
   There is some advantage in this when documenting, because the grammar   
   fragment given in each section is understood to be complete.   
      
   That is to say, in the document section on selection statements, say,   
   the grammar fragment which defines selection-statement is complete in   
   the sense that nothing else in the document is a selection-statement.
