This task should be moved to the ndn-cxx project.

There's a small problem with the "%" sign, as I pointed out here http://redmine.named-data.net/issues/1428#note-4, and the percent-encoded version would be kind of ugly and harder to read in my opinion.

What were the other proposals for the syntax?

Needs to target v0.5 of dependent Feature #3521.

v0.5 has already been released, so v0.6 is the correct target.

FaceMgmt revision 59 adds %25 to the syntax.

when #1428 is eventually implemented, we might have a problem here... how do we distinguish the two?

How about changing the syntax to udp4+dev://eth1:6363?

Fine with me.

FaceMgmt rev60 has the new syntax.

It's worth noting that the <port> part is required, and such FaceUris are always canonical.

can't we add a default port during canonicalization?

There isn't a valid use case for that.
FaceUri for NIC-associated permanent faces are never intended to be entered by an operator. It can only be returned as the LocalUri in a faces/list or faces/query dataset. Therefore, they will always be constructed as canonical.

I know that. However there are things in FaceUri that are a little more generic and broader than the bare minimum required by NFD. For example there's a constructor taking an arbitrary scheme, even though we only need it for ws:// and wsclient://... Anyway, not a big deal, it can always be changed later.
