It's always been true that random ASCII characters that are forbidden in URI/IRIs have "worked" in XML system identifiers, as well as the other things derived from it. That didn't turn out to be what IRIs are -- they have the same restrictions within the ASCII repertoire as IRIs. This is quite independent of the status of SPACE. -- John Cowan cowan@ccil.org http://ccil.org/~cowan And now here I was, in a country where a right to say how the country should be governed was restricted to six persons in each thousand of its population. For the nine hundred and ninety-four to express dissatisfaction with the regnant system and propose to change it, would have made the whole six shudder as one man, it would have been so disloyal, so dishonorable, such putrid black treason. --Mark Twain's Connecticut Yankee
