Comments from Todd Herr (todd.herr@valimail.com) * I found section 2.2.3, Special Characters, confusing. Specifically, the first table in that section includes an entry for the "$" character, and the middle column in that row contains text that says "A URI MUST end with a $." However, there is at least one URI in the table in section 2.2.2 that doesn't end with a $, as well as one in the second table in section 2.2.3 that doesn't end with a $, as well as other URIs scattered throughout the document that don't end with a $. Can this be clarified, please? * In section 2.3.1.3, Unavailable status, the crawler is given a choice of accessing any resources on the server or using a cached version of robots.txt. I'm having trouble envisioning a crawler that wouldn't take advantage of this situation to crawl the entire site, so I'm wondering if the second MAY clause is even worth stating? * Section 2.6 has a subject/verb disagreement: "Listing URIs in the robots.txt file exposes the URI publicly and thus making the URIs discoverable." In that sentence, "making" should be replaced by "makes".
