RE: [P&C] utf8-char in Zip-rel-path

Hi,

Given the fact that

"Rule names are case insensitive."
http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5234#section-2.1

it could potentially be better to rename the rule from "utf8-char" to something else, since it may get confused with "UTF8-char" rule from http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3629#section-4.

Taken into account my comments in the mail below, we could have new rule replacing utf8-char:
zip-UTF8-char   = UTF8-2 / UTF8-3 / UTF8-4
UTF8-2      = %xC2-DF UTF8-tail
UTF8-3      = %xE0 %xA0-BF UTF8-tail / %xE1-EC 2( UTF8-tail ) /
                 %xED %x80-9F UTF8-tail / %xEE-EF 2( UTF8-tail )
UTF8-4      = %xF0 %x90-BF 2( UTF8-tail ) / %xF1-F3 3( UTF8-tail ) /
                 %xF4 %x80-8F 2( UTF8-tail )
UTF8-tail   = %x80-BF

The problem may be with the allowed ranges of the Unicode characters.
The above grammar seems to allow 0080-10FFFF (the UTF-16 accessible range minus characters < 0080)
http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3629#section-3
whereas the current utf8-char rule is more selective.

Thanks.

Kind regards,
Marcin

Subject: [P&C] utf8-char in Zip-rel-path

Hi Marcos, All,

Following my previous email about Zip-rel-path and concluding that utf8-char non-terminal is wrongly specified (i.e. it indicates that Zip-rel-path operates on characters, not bytes, whereas I assume operation on bytes is our target), I wonder whether Zip-rel-path shouldn't refer to UTF8-char non-terminal from http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3629#section-4.
This would probably disambiguate the P&C spec and may result in Widgets 1.0: URI Scheme's widget-URI being correct.

Thanks.

Kind regards,
Marcin
