[ietf-calsify] Issue RK-5 in rfc2445bis-08 [Was: [Ietf-calsify] Review of rfc2447bis-05]

Hi Reinhold,

BTW, the recommended syntax of the "UID" property was previously 
discussed on the list, though from a different angle:

http://lists.osafoundation.org/pipermail/ietf-calsify/2007-February/001549.html

If we are to discourage the use of specific characters perhaps '/', '?' 
and '&' should be added to the list since some CalDAV clients are using 
the UID value as the name of the calendar object resource. Limiting 
ourselves to US-ASCII would also help avoid issues.

Can you propose a textual change?

Cheers,
Bernard
