A <dfn> of type type should only enclose a basic data type (something between < and >). At least, that's been the case across specs until now. The spec was using the dfn to describe a more complex value. More likely, the spec was trying to combine the definition of the two types with the definition of the value pattern that uses them in one single dfn.

This update changes the value pattern definition type to value and creates additional type dfns for the individual types so that they can be referenced from other constructs.
