BTW I agree that it is a good thing with very clear specification of 
these types, since this is really a protocol issue. It seems that the 
prose description in the spec is clear and strict enough, though, and 
more readable than BNF or regex-syntax.

Perhaps regex versions could be in a non-normative appendix. Especially 
correct regexes for email and uri would be appreciated :-)
