According to the abstract to "YACC: Yet Another Compiler Compiler", by
Stephen C. Johnson, Bell Labs (the long documentation, for those who have
not seen it)

	The class of specifications accepted is a very 
	general one: LALR(1) grammars with disambiguating rules.

YACC does not claim to be LR(1).
