I don't see the use case. Allowing them in the xxx part of an xxx:yyy prefixed name strikes me as silly. Allowing them in the yyy part is weird given that all sorts of punctuation is disallowed there anyways and one can always use a <full_IRI> if one wants to use unicode escapes. Most languages don't allow escapes in identifiers, see XML or Java. Same argument applies to SPARQL. Seriously, what's the use case? > T2/ Only allow character escapes in strings, not IRIs (or prefix names but they aren't allowed in them at the moment). +1 > T3/ Add \f and \b character escapes. +1 > T4/ Remove \> (side effect of T2). +1
