XML Core comment on POWDER

The XML Core WG has reviewed section 2.1.3 of the POWDER spec at
http://www.w3.org/2007/powder/Group/powder-grouping/20090309.html#canon
and has no issues that concern us there.

However, one of the canonicalization rules of the algorithm says 
"+ characters in the query string are converted to spaces".  This 
rule transforms a valid IRI into an invalid one, as valid IRIs may 
not contain spaces.  

We understand [1] that this issue may already be addressed in 
the next draft, but we wanted to register this comment for
completeness.
