Darren, that's why I take your comment not seriously:

This needs to > be fixed too. If you would look at the ABNF, you would find PRINTUSASCII = %d33-126 This is the problem with your comments: you claim things while at the same time you show that you are uninformed (at best). I believe in peer review, not in peer rumor... I assign peers some credibility and yours has gotten quite low over time. It's my personal judgement, but again I am stating everything honestly on-list so that others thinking your way can add their comments, which would obviously increase their weight. I guess that's common sense and not just "my party" ;) [but I have to admit that I personally do not care about what you think about me and "my party"]. As another technical comment, "-" for me is proper field content. It is just a special value which indicates a void value and these semantics are clearly described in the text. I have to admit I do not know any way how I could add such semantics to the grammer - your grammer above does the same as my grammer with the exception that it is more verbose. The resulting parser will be the same (because you obviously allow "-" by 'missing | ...'). On the HOSTNAME, I am refering to STD 13, which I consider to be sufficient. Take note that IP V6 representations must be allowed. So all in all, I do not see any need for change (maybe the name PRINTUSASCII, as it seems to be confusing to people not involved with the work - no, not (just) kidding, this might actually be an issue).
