I have edited the respective section of the manual now. I also wanted to add a note with references to some quick experiments on 3v4l.org, but when I tried to submit it, it said "Forbidden!". Anyway, the notes I would have posted: check of valid pattern: <http://3v4l.org/PkkHt#v4311> check of valid subject: <http://3v4l.org/NmZvZ> check of valid 5 and 6 octet sequences: <http://3v4l.org/EO4pM> -- Christoph M.
