Subject: misc comments on host-meta
A few quick comments, mostly about i18n. Section 3: What does "field-content = <field content>" mean? The HTTP grammer for headers includes more optional LWS than you've got here. Is the restriction intentional? Section 5: typo: ISO-859-1 s.b. ISO-8859-1 You diverge a bit from the HTTP header grammar for character encodings. RFC 2616 says iso-8859-1 or else RFC 2047 encoding. You just say "should be iso-8859-1". I think you should diverge from the HTTP spec here and say UTF-8. Given the current grammar, would it be accurate to say that the host-meta file MUST be iso-8859-1 text? It's going to be difficult for people to write properly internationalized parsers for this file if the character set can change part way through the file.
