#104: Characters are still excluded from URIs
Changes (by masinter@…):
* owner: draft-ietf-iri-3987bis@… => duerst@…
Comment:
on 12/27 editor meeting, I wrote:
<t>Unwise characters "\" (U+005C), "^" (U+005E), "`"
(U+0060), "{" (U+007B), "|" (U+007C), and "}" (U+007D): These
characters are excluded from URIs; they were unwise for reasons
including the possibility that respective codepoints were assigned
to different graphic characters in some 7-bit or 8-bit encodings.
Some of these characters are still occasionally displayed differently on
some
systems, even those that use Unicode; for example
U+005C may appear as a Japanese Yen symbol on some
systems. Also, as were not allowed in URIs, some systems
developed contexts where these characters are used as
delimiters for other purposes.
but we didn't finish and it looked like we should look at this again after
martin restores the LEIRI context from before we started to hack in the
web address processing.
