Working through the implementation feature list I've detected an error in one of the regexes (annoying since I could have sworn I've tested all those to destruction already. Ah well, you can never test things too much). Just above example 4-3 in the Formal Doc [1] the asterisk just before $1 in this line: Else if h matches the regular expression ^\*\.(.*) then let h be ([^\:\/\?\#\@]+\.)*$1 where $1 refers to ^\*\.(.*) Should be a +. This is because the IRI pattern *.example.com is meant to match all subdomains of example.com but not example.com itself. In other words you must have at least one ([^\:\/\?\#\@]+\.) before the .example.com - which is what + does (* matches even if there's no subdomain). Phil.
