There is another strange thing:

BMP-form = "\u" Hex-quad
Full-form = "\U" 2*2 Hex-quad

How can you tell one from the other before you encounter the second
Hex-quad? By the case of the U, as it seems from reading the text
following the grammar?

If so, this is wrong because ABNF strings are case-insensitive so one
should use:

BMP-form = "\" %x75 Hex-quad
Full-form = "\" %x55 2*2Hex-quad
