[WARNING]
====
*This document is HISTORY. It is SUPERSEDED by `DEED-GRAMMAR-SPEC.adoc` v0.1.0
(`hyperpolymath/standards`, `deed/spec/`), 2026-09-08.*

The record dialect specified below — the TOML-family surface of `[section]`
headers and `key = value` entries — is *NOT part of `.deed`*. The DEED grammar
has no `key = value` production and no `[section]` production. The only bracket
is `(`. A file using `=` as a field separator is not a deed.

This document is retained *unaltered below this notice* because it is the
honest record of a real state of affairs: when it was written, 435 estate files
did conform to the surface it describes, and it said so plainly — "the surface
was *used* but never *specified*". What it documented was drift, and
documenting the drift is how the drift became citable. Measured across all
35,884 legacy `.a2ml` files, the descriptile family had reached *0.2%*
conformance to the actual grammar (10 correct against 5,424 TOML-shaped).

*Do not implement from this document.* Implement from the DEED grammar
specification. Do not cite it as normative for any new work.
