The ABNF grammars are defined in terms of valid identifiers, and thus technically do not address how to handle invalid ones. The URI specification however includes a note how to use Regular Expressions for parsing, and this note applies to invalid identifiers as well. This document introduces terminology referring to potentially invalid identifiers, and demonstrates how the rules in the URI specification can be applied to them.}, }
