In RFC 2396 times, '[' and ']' were not allowed anywhere in an URI. With RFC 2732, they became okay in IPv6 literals. In RFC 3986/3987, they still only are allowed in IPv6 literals. My understanding was that one of the motivations behind Legacy Extended IRIs was to allow as little escaping as possible e.g. in XPointers. But '[' and ']', while as far as I understand being reasonably frequent in XPointers, are not allowed in the fragment part of a Legacy Extended IRI. If that's fine with you, that's fine with me, but please check. Regards, Martin. #-#-# Martin J. Du"rst, Assoc.
