So let's see, rumour has it Firefox, Opera, Safari, and Konqueror have more than 50% of the browser market here in Germany, and none of them apparently interpret the percent sign as indicating percent-encoding, and you see no evidence that any of those browsers will change how they interpret the character; so you recommend, instead of specifying the sane behavior implemented by the majority of browsers, and presumably the overwhelming majority of non-browser applications, the draft should require the unsound behavior of the minority of browsers where you do not have any reason to believe that it will be adopted by anyone else. -- Björn Höhrmann · mailto:bjoern@hoehrmann.de · http://bjoern.hoehrmann.de Am Badedeich 7 · Telefon: +49(0)160/4415681 · http://www.bjoernsworld.de 25899 Dagebüll · PGP Pub.
