put in the list of invalid NAIs?


Good catch.  RFC 2486bis should not be introducing non-backward compatible
changes.

Yes. Thanks Stefaan for your comments!


@howard.edu was actually listed as an illegal example
in RFC 2486; the introduction of the privacy feature
makes this now legal.

eng%nancy@bigu.edu is still legal. I removed it
as a part of providing a new set of examples, but
since there are questions about it, maybe I should
put it back in just to avoid people wondering whether
it has been made illegal.

2) Would it not be better to define the nai in 2.1 as follows:

nai = [realm "!"] ( <....> )

with <....> the current nai defintion. This to make the explanation
in section 2.7 more formal.

Ok.


3) typo: a quotation mark too much at the end in the nai definition
in 2.1.

Yes. Kalle Tammela also noticed this issue.


I have corrected the above issues in
