I see:
6.4.19.1 Examples
* fn:escape-uri
("gopher://spinaltap.micro.umn.edu/00/Weather/California/Los%20Angeles#ocean", true()) returns "gopher%3A%2F%2Fspinaltap.micro.umn.edu%2F00%2FWeather%2FCalifornia%2FLos%20Angeles%23ocean"
http://www.w3.org/TR/xquery-operators/#func-escape-uri
but the % after Los needs to be escaped, no?
i.e. the result should be ala...
>>> from urllib import quote
>>> s =
"gopher://spinaltap.micro.umn.edu/00/Weather/California/Los%20Angeles#ocean"
>>> quote(s, safe='')
'gopher%3A%2F%2Fspinaltap.micro.umn.edu%2F00%2FWeather%2FCalifornia%2FLos%2520Angeles%23ocean'
Note the ...Los%2520...
Hmm... the spec seems to special-case this:
The "%" character itself is escaped only if it is not followed
by two hexadecimal digits (that is, 0-9, a-f, and A-F)
I don't understand why.
Also... what does 'when escaping an entire URI or URI reference' refer
to?
Hmm... Graham, have you thought about a suite of tests for
URI escaping issues?
