Yes.  Basically the issue is what are the tokens being parsed.
The RFC2253 ABNF appears to be written in terms of characters,
UTF-8 characters.  When I start seeing code ranges restricted to
0x7F (or 0xFF), I start wondering whether or not the tokens
are UTF-8 characters or Unicode code points or ASCII code points
or octet values.  Likely this should be clarified.
