-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Julian, Everything sounds fine, some questions inline.

Abstract? uri-review sounds fine. Too bad the place is a spam haven: http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/uri-review > - "abouturi = "about:" segment" - restricting to segment sounds > good, but does this reflect reality? From RFC segment = *pchar pchar = unreserved / pct-encoded / sub-delims / ":" / "@" unreserved = ALPHA / DIGIT / "-" / "." / "_" / "~" sub-delims = "!" / "$" / "&" / "'" / "(" / ")" / "*" / "+" / "," / ";" / "=" gen-delims = ":" / "/" / "?" / "#" / "[" / "]" / "@" In practice this means no gen-delims except ":" or "@". The largest list of abouts I could find was <http://www.rigaut.com/benoit/CERN/ about/>, followed by the more recent <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ About_protocol> …Which both contain about URIs with "?". Crap. How about this: abouturi = segment [ "?" query ] query = *( pchar / "/" / "?" ) Can anyone confirm a use of fragments? Anything else horribly wrong? > - "About URIs are always escaped, as per [RFC3986]" - that's kind > of misleading; either remove it, or clarify what you mean by that. tag URI (RFC4151) says "In the interests of tractability to humans, tags SHOULD NOT be minted with percent-encoded parts. However, the tag syntax does allow percent-encoded characters in the "pchar" elements". Will that do? > http://josephholsten.com -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (Darwin) iEYEARECAAYFAkl/FGoACgkQrPgSa0qMrmG/UwCggFq034y/K32QSDTf5KLk4Jdi BlYAnj315nm2kO+oAQwYHvQcQOS3DNn3 =o+ZR -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
