Hi,

I think you need to split this into two parts. One is the general quoting of the UTF-8 string in the label parameter. The other part is the serialization of the WebRTC label into an UTF-8 string.

Also, I don't get my head around the USVString if that has any additional data in addition to the sequence of the Unicode scalar values and if there are any action that are needed to be done in the seralization to an UTF-8 string?

Cheers

Magnus

Hi Magnus,
I responded to your comments and this is currently the only open comment from all the comments that we got  that I need to address

I think that the text proposed by Adam make sense so I suggest adding to section 5.1.3 the following text




“In order to communicate with WEbRTC API the label attribute should

  *   Serialize the WebRTC label as a UTF-8 string
  *   Treat the UTF-8 serialization as a series of bytes
  *   For each byte in the serialization:
     *   If the byte can be expressed as a `quoted-char`, do so
     *   Otherwise, express the byte as an `escaped-char`.
“

Does this sound reasonable to you

Roni

There might be a serious issue in label definition.



5.1.3.  Label Parameter



   The 'label' parameter indicates the name of the channel.  It

   represents a label that can be used to distinguish, in the context of

   the WebRTC API [WebRtcAPI], an RTCDataChannel object from other

   RTCDataChannel objects.  This parameter maps to the 'Label' parameter

   defined in [I-D.ietf-rtcweb-data-protocol].  The 'label' parameter is

   optional.  If it is not present, then its value defaults to the empty

   string.



  label-opt       = "label=" quoted-string

  quoted-string   = DQUOTE *(quoted-char / escaped-char) DQUOTE

  quoted-char     = SP / quoted-visible

  quoted-visible  = %x21 / %x23-24 / %x26-7E ; VCHAR without " or %

  escaped-char    = "%" HEXDIG HEXDIG



I interpret that as the intention is to enable the SDP Attribute to carry the

label as defined in W3C API. That value is in the current candidatate

specification an https://www.w3.org/TR/webrtc/ as an USVSsting

(https://heycam.github.io/webidl/#idl-USVString<https://protect2.fireeye.com/url?k=1d146270-419dcd1b-1d1422eb-0cc47ad93ea2-445522e31aeacf26&u=https://heycam.github.io/webidl/#idl-USVString>). And in the reference version

of the WebRTC API as an DOMstring. Both are not limited to ASCII and may

contain any Unicode characters. Thus the escaping mechanism defined appear to

be insufficient.



I think the "quoted-string" need a definition of what type of string this truly

are so that it is clear what a character in the string is.



In addition the specification of escaping is undersspecified. I would recommend

at least adding discussion of the need and how to escape DQUOTE and % that can

be relatively common operations.



I can see that this could benefit from some explicit detail about how to convert the cited USVString string into the "quoted-string" construct defined here. I think this roughly consists of:

  *   Serialize the WebRTC label as a UTF-8 string
  *   Treat the UTF-8 serialization as a series of bytes
  *   For each byte in the serialization:

     *   If the byte can be expressed as a `quoted-char`, do so
     *   Otherwise, express the byte as an `escaped-char`.

Would including text to that effect satisfy your concern?

Yes it would be clear what is expected. However, I fail to understand why one need to ASCIIify and escape the UTF-8 encoded characters where one could simply define the label value as an UTF-8 string something that is compatible with SDP specification. Wouldn't that reduce the set of characters needing escaping to a much smaller set.



That's a little tricky. RFC 4566: "SDP also allows other character sets such as ISO 8859-1 to be used when desired."

Even if we just constrain this to SIP, RFC 3261: "When no explicit charset parameter is provided by the sender, media subtypes of the 'text' type are defined to have a default charset value of 'UTF-8'."

So there's a bias towards UTF-8, but no strict requirement.

I'd support a short document that deprecated non-UTF-8 encodings of SDP so that specifications like this one could simply assume that the full character set can be used directly, but that's not the current state of affairs.
