I've added the following pieces to the draft to try to capture the
conversation so far.
[at the end of section 2.1:]
o Use '%' in the URI
Pro:
+ "%" is the same character.
+ Can copy and paste between forms.
Con:
+ '%' is fundamentally special in URIs; parsers can be
expected to be hard-wired to know that they start a
percent-encoded octet.
+ IPvFuture ABNF doesn't permit bare percent.
Issues:
+ Impossible to ensure that this exception to a fundamental
URI rule would be handled properly by parsers.
[new section:]
3. Limitations
The usefulness of a URI or IRI using a literal scoped address is
obviously limited to systems within the same scope. The addition of
the zone identifier further limits the usefulness to the system on
which the URI or IRI was generated, since zone IDs are completely
local to a given host. Therefore, care must be taken to not pass
these URIs between systems.
