Note that this is exactly the reason there is a writing and parsing section. The writing section being much more restrictive so you have more chance of being interoperable with existing systems. The parsing section handles what servers actually emit in practice and software at the moment needs reverse engineer other software for to be able to handle it properly. (Not too different from how other syntaxes on the web work, such as HTML and CSS.) -- https://annevankesteren.nl/
