Now that the grammar of GEDCOM 5.5.5 is available in plain-text, a comparison with GEDCOM 5.5.1 is now also possible. Inspired by Kevin Routley’s GEDCOM Grammars : 5.5 vs 5.5.1 comparison, I’ve put the current GEDCOM version next to its predecessor.
The following color-coding is used in the comparison table:
| 5.5.1 construct not available in 5.5.5 | ||
| New construct in 5.5.5 | ||
| 5.5.1 construct changed in 5.5.5 | ||
Below the table (with 800 rows), there are some personal notes about the grammar.

Some notes
Strangely enough, the definition of SEX_VALUE isn’t written in a grammar, but valid values are enumerated in text. This was the case in GEDCOM 5.5.1 and still is in GEDCOM 5.5.5. In the table above, I but the valid values in grammar, so the difference is notable ( [ M | F | U ] versus [ M | F | X | U | N ] ). I hope a future GEDCOM version will put the values in the grammar.
A change in the GEDCOM 5.5.5 grammar is that in various places the space is explicitly included, like: DATE_EXACT:= <DAY> + space + <MONTH> + space + <YEAR>. I don’t think this makes the grammar more readable. Usually characters are used as literals, now sometimes it’s more of an operator in the grammar… And, this explicit notation of spaces isn’t use consistenlty in the grammar.
At first glace, the definition of CHARACTER_ENCODING hasn’t changed: [ UTF-8 | UNICODE | ANSEL | ASCII ] But, if you read the GEDCOM 5.5.5 Specification PDF, you’ll read:
The ASCII and ANSEL character sets are obsolete; the ASCII and ANSEL encoding are not legal in GEDCOM 5.5.5.
This kind of definition does the specification no good! I hope, in a future version a more formal (and complete) notation will be used for the grammar.
