    issue-346?

    <trackbot> issue-346 -- Section 5.2 use of %31 and %30 for
    characters 1 and 0 -- open

    <trackbot> [22]http://www.w3.org/International/track/issues/346

      [22] http://www.w3.org/International/track/issues/346

    issue-347?

    <trackbot> issue-347 -- Section 5.2: DNT-extension excludes
    should spell out control, space, double quote. -- open

    <trackbot> [23]http://www.w3.org/International/track/issues/347

      [23] http://www.w3.org/International/track/issues/347

    issue-348?

    <trackbot> issue-348 -- Non-ASCII not permitted in extensions
    -- open

    <trackbot> [24]http://www.w3.org/International/track/issues/348

      [24] http://www.w3.org/International/track/issues/348

    issue-349?

    <trackbot> issue-349 -- Section title for 6.2.7 doesn't match
    earlier description -- open

    <trackbot> [25]http://www.w3.org/International/track/issues/349

      [25] http://www.w3.org/International/track/issues/349

    issue-350?

    <trackbot> issue-350 -- IRI/non-ASCII not permitted in -- open

    <trackbot> [26]http://www.w3.org/International/track/issues/350

      [26] http://www.w3.org/International/track/issues/350

    Section 6.3.2: The grammar doesn't allow %, so the path to the
    DNT value cannot include non-ASCII characters that are percent
    encoded (neither can it be an IRI). A tracking resource might
    be named for some actual resource that uses non-ASCII
    characters in its name. Not permitting non-ASCII directly or
    via URI percent escapes limits what can be represented.

    richard: add document links too, please

    issue-351?

    <trackbot> issue-351 -- Section 6.4.2: restriction to "URI-safe
    characters" -- open

    <trackbot> [27]http://www.w3.org/International/track/issues/351

      [27] http://www.w3.org/International/track/issues/351

    Section 6.4.2: Use of "URI-safe characters" (non-ASCII
    support). Since a site may wish to associate the tracking
    status with specific resources and since these resources might
    be named using non-ASCII characters, this appears to limit
    usage in a non-helpful way?

    <matial> +1

    addison: any objections to making these WG comments?

    jck: no objection

    <David> no objection

    jck: be a little cautious about adopting non-ASCII everywhere

    issue-352?

    <trackbot> issue-352 -- normalization of custom property names
    -- open

    <trackbot> [31]http://www.w3.org/International/track/issues/352

      [31] http://www.w3.org/International/track/issues/352

    Section 2 says in part: <quote> Unlike other CSS properties,
    custom property names are case-sensitive. EXAMPLE. While both
    --foo and --FOO are valid, they are distinct properties - using
    var(--foo) will refer to the first one, while using var(--FOO)
    will refer to the second. </quote> Case sensitivity is not the
    only variation that can apply to text. While citing the case
    sensitivity is useful, should mention be made of other
    variations, such as Unicode[CUT]

    addison: anne had a good comment on this, but suggest a health
    warning

    issue-353?

    <trackbot> issue-353 -- Section 2.1 case sensitivity and
    normalization -- open
