You restrict the key path characters to a subset of ASCII, but say that the basenames of keys may consist of "All characters with exception of the slash and the space". The technical limitations of characters should

I've not had a chance to read through the spec just yet, but really, impose pure ASCII.

On the rare times that these key names are visible to humans, the last things you want to worry about are Unicode normalization and language tagging. ASCII doesn't have these concerns, and while it limits the names that can be given to keys, I don't think it's much less of a problem.
