• 124.5.6 PROPERTY

VALUE – (String) The value of the property. Values that contain white
space (see Character.isWhitespace()), quote characters (both single
quote ("’" \u0027) and double quote (’"’ \u0022)), or
backslashes (’\’ \u005C), must be quoted. A string can be quoted with
single or double quotes, any of the previously mentioned characters
must be escaped with a backslash (’\’ \u005C). Values must be trimmed
of whitespace before usage.

A String containing a comma must also be quoted, at least with a vector or an array (and a comma doesn't have to be escaped).

Is this a valid value, I really mean value : "Vector of ", with an ending space ?
Maybe not all -the values have to be trimmed of whitespaces before usage- despite the above last phrase, only value received for a vector or an array.

No syntax explaining how to compose a VALUE in case of a vector or
an array, only an example.

I propose a comma separated list of all elements. Only one
comma allowed between elements, and whitespaces between elements must
be ignored :
1, 2, 3, 4
Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday

Is this value allowed for String[]{"", "", ""} (3 times the empty String) ?

The last value is only a String with 2 commas.

Needs to be taken into account in the RFC 169 work.
