Greetings!

The new addition to the regexes reads as follows:

|(\\[^\s])

This means that any single character (excluding space, including all 
Unicode (which means PUA) can be used in any of the OSIS regex expressions.

Must be preceded by a "\" if the character is one of the ones we have 
reserved for use in ID or REF syntax.

Those characters are: ".", ":", "!", "[", "]", "@", "-" and "\".

This is only for the portion following the prefix, which is terminated 
by a ":".

All applications are required to recognize the "\" as an escape 
character applying to the single character that follows it.

Hope everyone is having a great day!

Patrick
