Summary0001881: Alias names should not be allowed to contain <slash>
DescriptionXRAT C.2.3.1 says "The definition of ``alias name'' precludes an alias name containing a <slash> character".

However, the definition of "Alias Name" actually says implementations may allow other characters within alias names as an extension and doesn't say anything about <slash> being disallowed.

The affected text is being moved out of the definition by bug 0001874, so the desired action is a change to be applied to the new location in XCU.
Desired ActionOn page 2477 line 80277 section 2.3.1 Alias Substitution, after applying bug 1874 change:
Implementations may allow other characters within alias names as an extension.
to:
Implementations may allow other characters, except for <slash>, within alias names as an extension.

On page 3872 line 134187 section C.2.3.1 Alias Substitution, change:
The definition of ``alias name'' precludes an alias name containing a <slash> character.
to:
A valid alias name cannot contain a <slash> character.
