Ancillary and trait sloppiness! D:

Why hello there, I recently ran the EDTC and EDA through an ancillary and trait validation; and found out many things. This is what the validator said, and I will explain further:

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

Error: Parsing EDCT failed, the followng errors were found:

Line 63355 - Error: Expecting Trigger - Found: ------------------------------------------[this means that the semicolon was missing from this line, it is a separator, so it should look like ;-------------------------------------- but apparently the semicolon was forgotten, and the trigger therefore, will not activate.]

Also, something in the EBBS script.

Line 355442 - Error: Trait CasseBelgae is not defined.
[Meaning there is no trait named "CasseBelgae" which is reffered to in the script]

So apparently, someone either chose to remove those triggers/ancillaries, or they did sloppy work

Well then, I hope this is answered, because we need the truth!
