After further discussions with @hudlow the character set stuff may not be needed regarding the Example Object, so it's worth considering whether that part needs to be here at all, or whether what's in the JSON and YAML RFCs is sufficient (it probably is). |
We don't really need the stuff about character encodings, as it was there because I was confused about something else. Also minimize the explanation of the change.

@hudlow@mikekistler I have removed the bit about character encodings (it is truly not needed, after getting a night of sleep- I've been under the weather, please forgive the confusion) and have slimmed down the explanation as much as I can while still conveying that there's a bit of a danger zone that was technically previously recommended, but was never really intended to work. |

@mkistler@mikekistler GitHub won't let me merge unless you approve as @mikekistler |
I'm stuck at home bored and getting over a cold, so have a PR as I distract myself from missing holiday plans!
This fixes:
Everything in this area is a RECOMMENDED (== SHOULD) so we have some leeway. I have tightened what is recommended but acknowledged previous guidance and simply said that depending on anything allowed by the old guidance but not by the new is NOT RECOMMENDED. I suspect most tools never even noticed, TBH.
