What is a valid 'middle' of a Symbol #8

Closed richard-lyman closed 12 years ago

richard-lyman commented 12 years ago

The / character is valid in the middle of a Symbol.

Is ./. a valid Symbol? Other questionable Symbols: -/.

Is the rule that the / character may not appear at the end or beginning of a Symbol with more than one character? Is the middle anywhere but the end or beginning of a Symbol with more than one character (which would make sense)? Does this imply the restriction that prefix and name are not allowed to be empty (which would make sense)?
