I suggest avoiding any of the complexities of URI comparison and make feature tag comparison be exact, octet-by-octet. Given the enormous flamage around UTF8-URLs, I think you might be in trouble unless you specify very carefully exactly which subset of URIs you're actually going to allow. The "x:" bothers me, since it isn't a URL scheme anyway. I think you might as well avoid it, and distinguish between a URL and a feature tag by the appearance of ":" within. Larry
