The comment for quoted is not what the syntax rule for quoted does. The
syntax rule allows as many as 4096 octets, as QUOTED-CHAR is 1-4 octets.
I think that the intent is to limit the overall number of octets, and not
the number of characters. Otherwise it doesn't make sense at all.
I think the report is correct. The restriction came from ACAP and RFC 2244
says that a quoted string is limited to 1024 octets.
That's correct.
The way we usually handle this sort of thing is not to put a
restriction in the formal grammar, but to list it in the comments
only. Like this:
quoted = DQUOTE *QUOTED-CHAR DQUOTE
;; limited to 1024 octets between the <">s
That's not ideal, but it's worked before. Trying to enforce the limit
in the formal grammar will be icky.[1]
Ok, I've submitted an erratum for this with the proposed fix.
