#88: A number of ABNF issues in 3987bis


Comment (by masinter@…):

ipath-empty = 0<ipchar>
maybe be redundant, but it is harmless.

using path-sep as a separate non-terminal at least lets you talk about the
possibility of, say, adding "\".

iquery allowing iprivate doesn't add value and adds confusion.

allowing ifragment question is still open, 12/27 editor meeting couldn't
decide (ran out of time).

#88: A number of ABNF issues in 3987bis

Changes (by masinter@…):

* status: new => closed
* resolution: => worksforme


Comment:

(a) changed ipath-empty as suggested. (this part fixed)

(b) did not change path-sep to eliminate it; there is at least some
possibility that some specifications might want to allow \ as path-sep in
defining a new very-non-legacy-extended-URI-thingie or some such (such as
HTML); in any case, leaving it as a semantic production seems harmless.

(c) did not allow iprivate in iquery:

The reason why iprivate is allowed in iquery and not in ifragment is that
a query component is part of a very specific workflow of filling out a
form and sending it back for specific processing, while fragments have a
much wider profile of interoperability they require. Originally, iprivate
wasn't allowed at all, but there were specific, credible use cases where
they made sense in queries. There have not been any use cases demonstrated
where this is true for fragments.

So: status change is, for three reports: one fixed, two won't fix. Can't
say that in tracker, so this is now marked as 'worksforme'.
