URI-Templates: "^" allowed in literals or not?

I have been working on an implementation of URI Templates in C#, and
came upon some ambiguity in the spec. In section 2.1 Literals, the ABNF
includes %x5D-5F in the set for literals, but the comment mentions that
literals should be 'any Unicode character except ... , "^", .. ' but "^" is
%x5E. Is "^" in the set of literals or no?

Thanks in advance,
-pete

No, I think you found a bug in 2.1.  And I'm rather annoyed that I again
missed one of those former <national> (RFC 1738) or <unwise> (RFC 2396).
