Mark (Hi, Mark!) is correct; interrelated specs invariably become a morass. If you want to prove it, try to trace through HTTP, URI, etc, to figure out which characters are allowed in an HTTP URL. Kudos to anyone who can do it in within a single day.

Of course we should be as clean as possible. Just don’t insist upon perfection.

Regards,
Dave
