Maybe ":" should be included as well then, though, for dealing with absolute URLs. (Perhaps "." and "/" could even be allowed as start characters too?) Would such constructions cause any problems, for certain older browsers or in some other regard? I'm not clear what use this is. SGML names are for things like naming elements or ID/IDREF values, not for URLs. Have you got an example of where you'd use them in this way? I agree a wider choice of characters would be nice for names, but I'm not clear where URLs come into it. ///Peter
