Hello,

I've been working on this document to consider comments from Daniel.  
I'm ready to publish -02; however I'd like we achieved consensus with 
regard to the following issue.

RFC 1738 clearly mentions:

>     Within a name or CWD component, the characters "/" and ";" are
>     reserved and must be encoded.
In my draft, -01 there is:

>       ftp-path      =/ [ ( [ cwd-part ] [ name ] ) ] [ typecode-part ]
>       cwd-part      =  *( "/" cwd )
>       cwd           = segment
>       name          = segment-nz
>       typecode-part =<specified inSection 2.1  <http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-yevstifeyev-ftp-uri-scheme-01#section-2.1>>
>
>     where the<segment>  and<segment-nz>  rules are defined inRFC 3986  <http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986>
>     [RFC3986  <http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986>],Appendix A  <http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-yevstifeyev-ftp-uri-scheme-01#appendix-A>.  The ";" character, even allowed byRFC 3986  <http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986>

However, since ABNF is normative, restriction of ";" should also be 
reflected there.  I've been thinking of:

> ftp-path       = [ [ cwd-part ] [ "/" name ] ] [ typecode-part ]
> cwd-part       =  *( "/" cwd )
> cwd            = ftp-segment
> name           = ftp-segment-nz
> ftp-segment    = *ftp-pchar
> ftp-segment-nz = 1*ftp-pchar
> ftp-pchar      = unreserved / pct-encoded / ftp-sub-delims
>                / ":" / "@"
> ftp-sub-delims = "!" / "$" / "&" / "'" / "(" / ")"
>                / "*" / "+" / "," / "="
>                ;RFC 3986 <sub-delims> excluding ";"
> typecode-part  = ";typecode=" typecode
> typecode       = "a" / "i" / "d"
Therefore I'd like to ask which ABNF is acceptable?

Also, I haven't seen comments to Section 2.2.4, added per John's 
comment.  Is it also acceptable?
