Larry Masinter: > >I suggest avoiding any of the complexities of URI comparison >and make feature tag comparison be exact, octet-by-octet. Yes, that would simplify things without loosing any of the power. I'll put it in the next version. I do assume that with octet-by-octed, you mean after interpretation of % escapes. I think it is a good idea to allow these, especially in the tag values. >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. I'm taking the PEP approach of allowing *any* URI. Do you expect this to cause flamage? >The "x:" bothers me, since it isn't a URL scheme anyway. The "x:" is one of the "URL schemes not associated with data resources", as in draft-masinter-url-process-01.txt. >I think you might as well avoid it, and distinguish between >a URL and a feature tag by the appearance of ":" within. OK. >Larry Koen.
