Maybe (!) DQUOTE, "<", ">", "\", "^", "`", "{", "|", "}" also
MUST be %-encoded where they occur. If that's the case it's
relevant for your <printable-ascii> and <wildmat>, or for my
<unique>.
E.g. msg-id <"\\"@example> as <URL:news:%22%5C%5C%22@example>.
My old brower won't accept <URL:news:"\\"@example> and so this
is at least an RfC 1738 backward-compatibility issue, even if
it's no "implicit" STD 66 MUST.
Bye, Frank
