What's the syntax for defining UNICODENOCTRLCHAR in a better way? I'd be eager
to incorporate that. I failed to find that part from your link.

For instance, the HTML4 "definition" doesn't even mention what to do with
non-ASCII characters.
I understand that it's not particularly attractive, but citing HTML4 just
because it's a "standard" isn't really helpful for people who actually follow
the link and try to understand what needs to be implemented.

Sorry, I missed that one; I was looking at the
UNICODENOCTRLCHAR = <Any Unicode character other than (%x0-1F / %x7F)>
where you had asked for a better way to define it, and that's also in the link
I sent.
With respect to the original question: you now say that *all* ABNF productions
define the syntax in terms of Unicode code points. It that's the case all is
well; but I didn't want to propose that because I don't have sufficient
knowledge of the contexts where these protocol elements are used.
