If we're specifically talking about URIs that specify paths , then, \ -> / for handling of improperly-encoded URIs is good. However, we can't specify this for all URIs (just saying). Flipping raw backslashes (even though they should really be encoded) in <a href="mailto:uridata"> for example, should not be done. If we do specify this, we have to be more specific than "path" because 'path' does not necessarily mean URI. -- Michael
