If I understand everything correctly, the declarations that you're  
proposing to delimit with 'punctuation.definition' are the very same  
inline data of the type in the Javascript subthread. Maybe use the  
outcome of that discussion for consistency?

Using the 'structure' proposal, you'd have categories like:

	punctuation.structure.table
	punctuation.structure.string

...which makes sense to me.
