2.4.2. Strings
<snip>
Non-printing characters such as tabs, CR and LF, and control characters are
permitted in strings. NUL ASCII 0) is not allowed in strings.
Does this mean that you are allowed to have quoted strings that span more than
one line (ie contain CRLF)? I think that the spec says that you can, but it
almost hints that you can't. (If you see what I mean... )
While I'm here and on ths subject in the same section it says:
Note that a hashed comment or whitespace may occur in between the "text:" and
the CRLF, but not within the string itself. Bracketed comments are not allowed
here.
Does this mean that you can't have a /**/ after "text:" and before the CRLF?
It would seem a little strange to allow only one commenting style here. I know
that allowing only #ed comments makes it much easier to parse, but then is it
not just confusing to allow one commenting style and not the other here? Why
not just allow both or neither?
