You should simply drop this effort and use IRI References instead. There is a high cost associated with yet another notion of resource identifier technology, while the value is near zero, especially since you do not in any way attempt to standardize common error handling for e.g. \ chars in the relevant contexts. Simply prohibit anything but IRI references and, if necessary, specify "utf-8-percent-escape all disallowed characters" as error recovery method. -- Björn Höhrmann · mailto:bjoern@hoehrmann.de · http://bjoern.hoehrmann.de Weinh.
