Comment 1. 

Category: Request for information/clarification

Committee Draft subsection: 6.1.2

Title: Identifier lengths


Detailed description:

Paragraph 6 is ambiguous.  Do the 31 and 63 character limits include
universal escapes as one character, or as their source length?  This needs
specifying clearly, one way or the other, or there will be serious
confusion.  I cannot suggest wording, as I do not know the committee's
intentions.
