We are having an rather simple dilemma which I would like some comments
from others.

The grammar may not be complete, just as an example.

Consider we have a syntax as follows:

aSyntaxForNames :: = GraphicString

Now we have two attribute templates which are going to both use the
same syntax.

userName	ATTRIBUTE
	WITH SYNTAX		Our_syntax.aSyntaxForNames
	etc...


computerName   ATTRIBUTE
	WITH SYNTAX		Our_syntax.aSyntaxForNames
	etc...

== OR ==

We could have two syntaxes

userNameSyntax ::= GraphicString
computerNameSyntax ::= GraphicString

and reference these syntaxes instead.

Comments?  Ideas?  We can't decide which way is (so to speak) better
or more correct than another way.
