Re: Text/enriched ambiguity

<comment> didn't need any special handling at the lowest lexical
levels.  In fact <param> is just <comment> renamed.

It is important for parsers to be able to ignore the stuff inside of
<param> without switching lexical modes, so the text inside of <param>
should have the same rules as outside of <param>.

Even though the text/enriched commands exist inside of <param>, it is
not necessary to actually use them.  One could do the colortable
example much more simply as:

<param>
colortable
colorentry red 255 0 0
colorentry blue 0 0 255
</param>
