Hmm, I do:

<delimited identifier> ::=
<double quote> <delimited identifier body> <double quote>

<delimited identifier body> ::= <delimited identifier part>...

<delimited identifier part> ::=
<nondoublequote character>
| <doublequote symbol>

As opposed to, say, an empty character string literal:

<character string literal> ::=
[ <introducer><character set specification> ]
<quote> [ <character representation>... ] <quote>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
[ { <separator>... <quote> [ <character representation>... ] <quote> }... ]
