Dear Colleagues,

I know it's really late, but I hadn't worked with the SVCB until recently. Apologies if this has been thoroughly discussed. 😬

I implemented a parser for the "alpn" service parameter, and the code was a lot more complex than I thought it should be. Basically, the double-encoding required for full implementation of the presentation format is cumbersome.

I also think it is completely unnecessary.

Can't we just restrict alpn, so that we don't use comma in the name? That would get rid of the need for the double-encoded values, the decision that implementers have to make whether or not to support them, plus all of Appendix A.

I don't see any strong motivation for allowing comma in alpn name. As far as I can tell none of the existing ALPN values use a comma:

Again, apologies for chiming in so late. Maybe other implementers have had a different experience with this, and I'm way off-base. But if others agree, maybe it's not *too* late?

Cheers,

--
Shane
