Briefly it appears that an indefinite number of colon and @ characters were allowed in reg-names in RFC 2396 and forbidden in RFC 3986.
This doesn't seem to be called out as a change in D2 of 3986.
For instance, dcp.tcp.pft://192.168.0.1:1002:3002?fec=1&crc=0 is legal in 2396 and not in 3986.
Was this decision deliberate? Or did it accidentally fall out of other changes made to the BNF grammar? Or am I missing something obvious, and this URI is legal (or illegal) in both RFCs?
