That being said, what's frustrating from my personal perspective is that we've asked you to provide specific proposed text changes that would address your concerns several times and you don't do it.  It's probably just me, but I personally find the descriptions of your concerns vague and unclear - making it hard to make them actionable.  Specific proposed text changes would make them actionable.

Sorry, can't do that; not just because I don't have time but also 
because I don't understand the spec sufficiently do decide what needs to 
be done.

What's clear is that you can't silently mix ABNFs for byte sequences and 
character sequences. You need to be clear about what is what. I can't 
answer that. I provided you with a reference to similar text in a spec I 
wrote a few years ago; please borrow from it.

With respect to the POST/media-type/encoding issue I *did* make a 
concrete proposal.

Best regards, Julian
