Namely: you get to specify a dotted series of concatenated values OR you get to specify ONE oneof range. Therefore, I'm changing the spec to show; num-val = "%" (bin-val / dec-val / hex-val) bin-val = "b" 1*BIT *("." 1*BIT) / ["-" 1*BIT] ; series of concatenated bit values ; or single ONEOF range dec-val = "d" 1*DIGIT *("." 1*DIGIT) / ["-" 1*DIGIT] hex-val = "x" 1*HEXDIG *("." 1*HEXDIG) / ["-" 1*HEXDIG] If there is strong sentiment to the contrary, speak strongly... d/ -------------------- Dave Crocker Internet Mail Consortium +1 408 246 8253 675 Spruce Dr. fax: +1 408 249 6205 Sunnyvale, CA 94086 USA info@imc.org , http://www.imc.org Member, interim Policy Oversight Committee http://www.gtld-mou.org
