Chris, There's not much time at the IETF URL-BOF to say much about the IMAP URL scheme except to point out to people to read it. However, please check out draft-fielding-url-syntax-00.txt to see if the (revised) description of generic URL schemes clarifies those things that were ambiguous from RFC 1738 & RFC 1808. # I also believe there is a bug in RFC 1808 with respect to multiple # parameters. I think the relative URL should inherit all parameters form # the base URL, except those that are specified in the relative URL. The # current spec indicates that if *any* parameter is present in the relative # URL, it overrides all parameters in the base URL. Comments? The goal originally was to revise 1738 & 1808 to make them consistent with current practice. What would current web browsers do with relative URLs with multiple parameters? Larry
