Section 4.2.5.1.1 says:

dtn-hier-part = "//" node-name name-delim demux ; a path-rootless

node-name = reg-name

demux = *VCHAR

It should say:

dtn-hier-part = "//" node-name name-delim demux [ "?" query ]

node-name = reg-name

demux = path-rootless / path-empty

Notes:

The demux portion of an EID should match only URI path segments and not match query or fragment URI parts. A fragment part should not actually be sent as encoded EID to be consistent with other URI uses (e.g. HTTP). The administrative endpoint is the allowed empty demux path.
