Your proposed wording for 2.4 misses the point:  \ MUST NOT occur at all in the 
input string.  No quoting may occur.

Care to suggest other wording that recognizes this point but still addresses 
the issue you raise?

2.2: "The entity-body is encoded using the "application/x-www-form-urlencoded" 
media type (Section 17.13.4 of [W3C.REC-html401-19991224]), applied to the 
UTF-8 [RFC3629] encoded forms of the parameter values."

Note 1: HTML4 ignores the encoding issue; this is a case where a reference to 
HTML5 would actually help in practice.

Note 2: I prefer refs in the form of [REC-html] or [HTML] rather than 
[W3C.REC-html401-19991224]...


2.4: As stated earlier, just define all those parameters to be "token / 
quoted-string", and then constrain the values further separately, such as:

"The value of the scope parameter, after potential quoted-string 
unquoting, contains a set of single-SP delimited scope values." Each 
scope value is restricted to

   scope-val-char  = %x21 / %x23-5B / %x5D-7E
   ; HTTPbis P1 qdtext except whitespace, restricted to US-ASCII
"

etc.

Best regards, Julian
