I think this discussion is based on a misapprehension: > http://www.w3.org/TR/2001/WD-xforms-20010828/slice11.html#rpm-send-urlencode d is not about encoding XML in URIs at all, it's about encoding form data (the result of filling out a form), and as section 11.5.1 point 5 notes, "Instance data is delivered over the network as an HTTP POST". The MIME type "application/x-www-form-urlencoded" uses the _encoding method_ of URLs (%XX). Frankly, I think application/x-www-form-urlencoded is a legacy design with much awkward baggage that has less place in XForms than <BLINK> has in XHTML. > IMHO there are still fundamental and practical issues with this use > of URIs, and personally I think this is something the TAG should > address as soon as it gets instantiated, as it seems to be of > interest in more than one context. Since this isn't "a use of URIs" per se, I'm not sure there's an issue. Larry -- http://larry.masinter.net
