On my "to do" list, hopefully for today, but things keep coming up. I think 
the nature of the concern is clear, I.e. that the current wording is 
ambiguous and can be read (as I did) as restating incorrectly the general 
rules from RFC 3986. If anyone involved wants to pass that comment on 
informally, I will try and make it formally within the next day or two. I hope.
