If the spec is going to be read by ignorants like me, it's better to repeat
than to omit. RFC3986 has a very wide scope, and uses phrases like "may (or
may not) be defined as delimiters". It says:
If data for a URI component would conflict with a reserved
character's purpose as a delimiter, then the conflicting data must be
percent-encoded before the URI is formed.
Commma and exclamation (which are sub-delims like semicolon) are apparently
used in dmarc-uri's rule. The preceding DMARC section says:
DMARC records follow the extensible "tag-value" syntax for DNS-based
key records defined in DKIM [DKIM].
However, DKIM production rules don't seem to be formally imported. If they are
imported, semicolon exclusion is implied by the definition:
VALCHAR = %x21-3A / %x3C-7E
; EXCLAMATION to TILDE except SEMICOLON
Anyway, I'd add the "percent-" word, lest anyone tries ,...
How about the other two questions? I didn't survey but a few DMARC records,
but RFC6068 exemplifies the following:
Also note that it is syntactically valid to specify both <to> and an
<hfname> whose value is "to". That is,
<mailto:addr1@an.example,addr2@an.example>
is equivalent to
<mailto:?to=addr1@an.example,addr2@an.example>
is equivalent to
<mailto:addr1@an.example?to=addr2@an.example>
However, the latter form is NOT RECOMMENDED because different user
agents handle this case differently. In particular, some existing
clients ignore "to" <hfvalue>s.
Yahoo instead uses 1st level syntax:
rua=mailto:dmarc-yahoo-...@yahoo-inc.com, mailto:dmarc_y_...@yahoo.com;
