Hi, two observations in draft -08 (not new, I didn't look into any drafts incl. 3987bis for some months):

* Section 5.1 should only list "garbage", i.e., the
 differences from <ucschar> in 2.2, and the various
 non-URI US-ASCII characters:

 leiri-add-ons  = %x20 / "<" / ">" / "{" / "}"
                / %x22 / "\" / "^" / "`" / "|"
                / %x00-1F / %x7F / %x80-9F
                / %xFDD0-FDEF
                / %xFFF0-FFFD
                / <iprivate>

 Apparently draft -08 says that the "garbage" includes
 64 of the 66 non-characters, only u+FFFE and u+FFFF
 are excluded.  Is that as it should be?

* IIRC your '"' notation won't pass in ABNF validators,
 I've used hex.  You could also import DQUOTE, SP, and
 CTL from STD 68; but CTL does not include %80-9F.

* In section 6 you apparently forgot u+FFFE and u+FFFF.
 Maybe a new term <other-non-char> or similar defined
 in section 5.1 would also help at the end of section 6.

* In section 6 please replace one string of weasel words:
 "These characters originally have been excluded from
  URIs".  These characters still are excluded from URIs,
  i.e., STD 66 does not list them anywhere as permitted.

* s/Disallowed or Not Recommended/Disallowed/ please, or
 is 3987bis intended for "proposed standard" instead of
 "standard"?

-Frank
