Drop the trailing s from the npt syntax, which seems not to serve any real purpose as it only adds (a little) complexity but doesn't help disambiguate from any other form.

Simply following the rules for splitting name-value pairs yields a string with any special characters decoded. Would this work if I had, say, an ampersand (or any other special character) in my track name? I think it may work: IIRC the quotes were added before we referenced rfc3986 for the string parameters, and I think the "unreserved" character set is restricted enough. But: someone with a strong ABNF background needs to check. We want to make sure that "http://www.example.com/id=my%26name&t=5" actually splits on & before turning the %26 into an ampersand. -- Jack Jansen, <Jack.Jansen@cwi.nl>, http://www.cwi.nl/~jack If I can't dance I don't want to be part of your revolution -- Emma Goldman
