Also, the new language for the XX bytes ("between 23 and 7E hex")
excludes all whitespace characters. (This may not actually be a
desirable change. I was thinking of it as a convenient way to specify
that non-ASCII characters automatically cause the directive to be
ignored, therefore we don't need to say anything about how to
interpret them. And no labels contain U+0020 or U+0021, so starting
the range at U+0023 gives us the desired scan-for-closing-U+0022
behavior for free. I didn't realize that "get an encoding" trims
spaces.)
