Re: URI Templates: { ^ prefix ^ variable [] separator | default }

E.g. embedding a URI Template within a URI is quite nasty:

http://bitworking.org/projects/URI-Templates/s/explain.cgi?t=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2Fnotebook%2Ffeeds%2F%7BuserID%7D%7B%3C%2Fnotebooks%2F%7CnotebookID%7D%7B%3F%2F-%2F%7Ccategories%7D%7B%26%2F%7Ccategories%7D%3F%7B%2C%26%7Cupdated-min%2Cupdated-max%2Calt%2Cstart-index%2Cmax-results%2CentryID%2Corderby%7D

If we can find <op> identifiers that only require a minimal amount of
escaping, then we should use them, but the top priority needs to be the
overall syntax and function of the template and not on how easy it is to
embed templates in various formats.
