Abstract
For most of the traditional programming languages, the concept of (concrete) syntax has been the only conceptual framework that relates to the external representation of those languages. Nowadays, more and more people realize that also such language features as extendability, subsetting, and defaulting, which also deal with the external representation of the language need unique concepts. Moreover, more and more people become aware that it is just as important to have these concepts consistently integrated.
