LGTM

http://codereview.appspot.com/181083/diff/1002/1003
File doc/go_spec.html (right):

http://codereview.appspot.com/181083/diff/1002/1003#newcode159
doc/go_spec.html:159: that would otherwise combine into a single token or
constitutes a line end
"constitutes a line end" is odd phrasing.
"terminates a line"
you also need a comma before "which".

PTAL.

Dont' I need a comma after "single token" ?

No.

Might be simpler to break the sentence though, and then the first  
sentence doesn't have to carry all the weight


is ignored except as it separates tokens
that would otherwise combine into a single token.
Also, a newline may trigger insertion of a <a  
href="#Semicolons">semicolon</a>.
