Hi,

here is one more option

  5. name parameters payload ;	(Martin's 2nd proposal)
Example:
  app-message-start 123 1;

And these are the options ordered by my current personal preference:

  5. name parameters payload ;
  2. {name parameters payload}
  1. name parameters payload !
  4. name parameters payload SP .
  3. name parameters END
  0. name parameters payload .

Regards
Martin

Perfect! Shame on me for not coming up with a semicolumn as the
terminator. The next OCP release will use semicolumn. The issue is
closed unless somebody has technical reasons to prefer another symbol
or termination method.

Thank you,

Alex.
