Why can you not use characters legally allowed in IRIs?
Are you referring to the "permissible charset" for ranges of characters
or the condition disallowing reserved characters? I've only omitted the
ones that should be percent-encoded. Honestly, we just need terse prose
requiring something globally unique; I wanted to allow the Chrome Team's
use of URL-tagging, and largely do allow it if they percent encode
things.
Is this nit backed by a use case? Does Opera wish to URl-tag the
opaqueString production as well, and does escaping characters fall short
of that requirement?
I do not really see why we should be escaping … or other characters
outside the ASCII range. After all these URLs are not going over HTTP so
we do not have the same restrictions.
I am not really sure what URL-tagging is in this context and I think Opera
can implement whatever is decided. I just would like it not to be
something arbitrary.
