Report square brackets in URI templates

[zdne]

As per RFC3513 square brackets might occur in URI:

A host identified by an Internet Protocol literal address, version 6 [RFC3513] or later, is distinguished by enclosing the IP literal within square brackets ("[" and "]"). This is the only place where square bracket characters are allowed in the URI syntax.

Snow Crash should accommodate this.

But as per http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1738.txt ( via http://stackoverflow.com/a/40583 ) - the [ or ] MUST be encoded in percent format.

Just the host(name) is allowed to do so.

What I am saying is I will update the parser so it accepts square brackets in the host protocol part of URI e.g. http://[FEDC:BA98:7654:3210:FEDC:BA98:7654:3210]:80/resource where square brackets are accepted. The parser will warn on [ or ]anywhere else suggesting using %-escapes.
