Rob Vesse commented on JENA-375:
--------------------------------

Adding Paul's email comments:

I'm curious... why do you think a "dot" is acceptable?

I presume that you're referring to the standard "period" or "fullstop" that
occurs at 0x002E (as opposed to a similar looking character in another
codepage).

Varnames look like:
( PN_CHARS_U<http://www.w3.org/TR/2011/WD-sparql11-query-20110512/#rPN_CHARS_U>
|
[0-9] ) ( 
PN_CHARS_U<http://www.w3.org/TR/2011/WD-sparql11-query-20110512/#rPN_CHARS_U>
|
[0-9] | #x00B7 | [#x0300-#x036F] | [#x203F-#x2040] )*

#x002E is not in any of the hex ranges shown, so looking at PN_CHARS_U we
see:

PN_CHARS_BASE<http://www.w3.org/TR/2011/WD-sparql11-query-20110512/#rPN_CHARS_BASE>
|
'_'

OK, it's not an underscore, so look in PN_CHARS_BASE:

[A-Z] | [a-z] | [#x00C0-#x00D6] | [#x00D8-#x00F6] | [#x00F8-#x02FF] |
[#x0370-#x037D] | [#x037F-#x1FFF] | [#x200C-#x200D] | [#x2070-#x218F] |
[#x2C00-#x2FEF] | [#x3001-#xD7FF] | [#xF900-#xFDCF] | [#xFDF0-#xFFFD] |
[#x10000-#xEFFFF]

It's not a letter, and the lowest of the characters after the letter
classes start at #x00C0, which is much higher than #002E.

So the parser appears to be doing the right thing here.

Regards,
Paul
