The document at http://www.w3.org/International/iri-edit/draft-duerst-iri-09.txt, in section 3.1, says: 2.3) Replace the original character by the resulting character sequence (i.e. a sequence of %HH triplets). That "replace ... by " should be "replace ... with." ("By" fits only when the verb in is the passive voice, as in "A is replaced by B" (meaning B replaces A (_with_ itself)). Since the imperative verb specifies that the reader replace A with B, "with" must be used. Alternatively, notice that: - B can replace A, - A can be replaced _by_ B, and - One can replace A _with_ B, - but one can't "replace A by B" ) (Oh--also, the "i.e." should be followed by a comma.)
