No, it isn't an error.  You are not supposed to use the terms
in appendix D for new specifications.  They are merely for
forward (URI-compliant) interpretation of old pre-3986 specs
and thus are intentionally conservative to avoid the creation
of bad URIs.

Why don't you simply use the current rules in the body of 3986?
Just ignore appendix D for new specifications. This confusion is
why I didn't want to include it in the first place.
