Resource Identifiers draft

Abstract and section 2: "delimiters and a few ASCII characters":
Change to "... a few other ASCII characters", since the delimiters are
ASCII.

Section 2: "These specifications all describe, with slightly different
wording, the same algorithm for converting that string to an IRI":
Since the examples listed all predate IRIs, they in fact give an
algorithm for converting to URIs.  Change to "... to a URI or IRI".

Section 3: the abbreviation "HRRI" is used but has not been introduced.
Perhaps introduce it at the end of section 2.

We should add #x0 to the characters that need to be encoded, even
though (as we note) it cannot occur in XML.

"The encoding rules above will transform any sequence of characters
into one which satisifes the bare minimum syntactic requirements of
IRIs":
Where are these "base minimum syntactic requirements" defined?  Surely
they don't allow "%%%"?

"In XML, authors are advised to avoid literal space characters, as W3C
XML Schema[6] has identified them as an interoperability risk":
Is there a specific statement to this effect in XML Schema?  Does it
apply to anything other than *lists* of HRRIs?  And is it relevant
when schemas are not being used?
