Hi,

I think I agree with the new "simple" approach, as explained in 
<http://www.mnot.net/blog/2007/07/28/more_uri_templates>.

Comments on the spec itself:

In Section 3.1 
(<http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-gregorio-uritemplate-01#section-3.1>):

     template-char = unreserved
     template-name  = 1*template-char
     template-var  = "{" template-name "}"

Would it make sense to put some restrictions on the first character of 
the template name, so that it's compatible with names in other 
notations, such as XML?

In Section 3.2 
(<http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-gregorio-uritemplate-01#section-3.2>): 
I think we need a statement about how to handle non-ASCII characters.

In Section 3.3.1 
(<http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-gregorio-uritemplate-01#section-3.3.1>), 
wouldn't it be good to have an example template value containing a "/"?

Best regards, Julian
