And |= doesn't appear at all.  I suspect that |= was intended for the
second appearance of =.

No, it should be `component-name' and there should then be a
production:

	component-name:
		identifier ,

to document the semantic restriction.

The same comments about documenting the semantic restriction.  You
need the restriction, otherwise the declarations involving named types
are impossible to handle.

Thanks to Mike for pointing out these bugs.
