Greetings
the proposed standard in the Subject marks usernames containing ":" as invalid.
Quoting section 2:
"Furthermore, a user-id containing a colon character is invalid, as
the first colon in a user-pass string separates user-id and password
from one another"
This is totally understandable, but limits interoperability with systems (e.g. LDAP's DNs - rfc2253) which allows such character.
What if a username contains (one or more) colon characters already? Shouldn't this character be escapable as "special" character?
Best regards
Enrico Bonato
