[i18n-activity] DNT Extension syntax unclear; exclude apostrophe?

aphillips has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/i18n-activity:

== DNT Extension syntax unclear; exclude apostrophe? ==
5.2.1 Extensions to the DNT Field Value
https://w3c.github.io/dnt/drafts/CRc-tracking-dnt.html#dnt-extensions

```
 DNT-extension   = %x21 / %x23-2B / %x2D-5B / %x5D-7E
                ; excludes CTL, SP, DQUOTE, comma, backslash
```
This is a minor editorial nit. The names for the characters in the "excludes" comment are not the Unicode names nor are they particularly clear. `CTL` appears to refer to all control characters. `SP` would be clearer as `SPACE`, `DQUOTE` as double-quote. `comma` and `backslash` are fine. 

I would have expected apostrophe to be on the excluded list as well, since it has meaning in JSON?
