Spec questions:

^<ndn><edu>$ shall match only one name: /ndn/edu

I believe this regex can also match ndn:/aaandnbbb/ccceduddd, because Perl syntax needs ^ $ anchors to avoid additional octets outside of a match.

To match only ndn:/ndn/edu, the regex would be ^<^ndn$><^edu$>$.

a packet is treated as invalid if it cannot pass none of the checkers

This sentence has double nagation and I can’t understand.

Actually, ^$ cannot match ndn:/aaandnbbb/ccceduddd, because the internal name component matcher is based on boost::regex_match (http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_55_0/libs/regex/doc/html/boost_regex/ref/regex_match.html). According to boost doc "Note that the result is true only if the expression matches the whole of the input sequence."

I should re-phrase the doc to emphasize that.

Sorry for the malformat.
