> The intention in 8601 is pretty clear, even though the ABNF doesn't agree:

Yes, the RFC says the authserv-id can contain UTF-8, but its author
stated that he intended it to be "either a plain old ASCII domain name
or an A-label". One does not need UTF-8 for that. If authserv-id were not

> authserv-id = value

but

> authserv-id = token ; token from RFC2045

wouldn't the author's intent have been covered as well, without any
reference to RFC6531/6532?
