Keith Moore points out a critical error in <199508081434.KAA04004@thud.cs.utk.edu> (per my half-baked Unicode suggestion): >Ack! Out of the question. URIs need to be in a universal character >set -- meaning a character set that's available on every keyboard. >The only reasonable option is to use a subset of ASCII. Period. Oops! I meant to say, "how about standardizing on Unicode as the encoding (encoded?) character set". As in <URL:http://manga.jp/%BF%FA.html> having the "%BF%FA" interpreted as encoded Unicode (vs. encoded shift-JIS, etc.). ====================================================================== Mark Fisher Thomson Consumer Electronics fisherm@indy.tce.com Indianapolis, IN
