I should have also quoted the rest of that sentence, since it makes the case even stronger: but it may include escaped characters if these were specified in the document, or returned by a server in the case of redirection. The implication seems clear that if the document does *not* have the characters escaped (and there has been no redirection) then the [base URI] property should have the original unescaped characters. -- Richard
