This weekend, Julian stumbled upon what I think is a clear error in
RFC4408.
Section 8.1. "Macro Definitions" says, in part:
Uppercased macros expand exactly as their lowercased equivalents, and
are then URL escaped. URL escaping must be performed for characters
not in the "uric" set, which is defined in [RFC3986].
Unfortunately, the "uric" part is wrong.
First, there is the minor point that the update from RFC2396 to RFC3986
deprecated <uric>, and RFC3986 only mentiones it in an appendix.
Then there is the minor point that "uric" is not a character set, but
rather a set of strings.
The major point, however, is that this never should have been "uric"
but instead it should have been "unreserved".

Ok, before I list this as an official erratum/errata/whatever, do
people agree that this is really an error in the RFC?
Since Wayne and I have worked this all out, I obviously concur.
