under ENQ I read:
...
,rname addr
Specifies the address of the name used together with qname to
represent a single resource. The name must be from 1 to 255 bytes
long, can be qualified, and can contain any valid hexadecimal character.
What's a "qualified" name, as opposed to unqualified? Does this
simply mean a conventional data set name containing periods is
acceptable? If so, I believe that "can be qualified" adds no
meaning to the description.
I do intend to submit an RCF about the otiose and possibly misleading
use of "valid" and "hexadecimal". I believe there's no such thing
as an invalid or non-hexadecimal character which must not appear
in the rname.
