 The proposal is about having optional semicolons. Why is the LCS written to define optional commas?

 -- %BUBBLESIG{KevinJennings - 2016-11-03}%

 Agreed. Split the LCS into [[LCS2016_071a]] for the semicolon and [[TopLCS2016_071b]] for the commas so they can be voted independently.

 -- %BUBBLESIG{RobGaddi - 2016-11-16}%

Please, correct the syntax to make the final semicolon optional rather than repetitive: { ; } -&gt; [ ; ]

-- %BUBBLESIG{ThomasPreusser - 2016-12-27}%

Good catch on optional vs. repetitive.  Hopefully Rob doesn't mind that I went ahead and made this fix.  I also didn't bump the revision number since the optional production is the one that I *meant* to vote on.  In other words, I consider I'm fixing a typo, not altering the (intent) of the proposed text.
