That looks completish to me.  (At least I didn't think, "hey! where's
such and such?")  

One thing that I noticed and had to look up was 

        <-prop X>

though.  Because ...

I believe that Larry blessed Pm's idea to allow

        <[a..z]+digit>
        <+alpha-[aeiouAEIOU]>

which implies to me that assertions starting with one of "<[",
"<-" or "<+" should be treated as character classes.  This doesn't
seem to play well with <-prop X>.  Maybe it does though.

Also, I think that it's [a..z] now rather than [a-z] but I'm not
entirely sure.  At least that's how PGE implements it.

I think you need to write "<["
