Actually my intention was that everything from after the <op> operator to the | would be put into the result w/o needing further escaping. Using | as the separator means that no special escaping is needed for |, ala \|, since that can never legally appear in a URI. It makes the parsing much easier. -joe -- Joe Gregorio http://bitworking.orgReceived on Monday, 15 October 2007 18:11:43 UTC
