Here's a list of problems I see with this proposal: - Scope - the proposed syntax overloads quoted-string, potentially changing the interpretation of existing content, thus I don't think we *can* do this as part of HTTPbis. - Adding a different type of quoted-string might make things more confusing; for the RFC5987 encoding it's at least easy to understand when it's in use. - the JSON \u format doesn't really use Unicode but UCS-2 code points; which means that senders and receivers will need to understand surrogate pairs; see also <https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5137#section-5.1> for context (that proposal adds additional delimiters to avoid the variable length issue) Best regards, Julian
