I tried to take the text from the usual suspects and minimize the divergence between different W3C specs. cf in particular http://www.w3.org/TR/2003/WD-charmod-20030822/#sec-URIs which links to http://www.w3.org/XML/xml-V10-2e-errata#E26 http://www.w3.org/TR/xlink/#link-locators http://www.w3.org/International/2002/draft-duerst-iri-00.txt None of these %-escape %. I believe that w3c-i18n-ig@w3.org and uri@w3.org may be appropriate forums for discussion of this issue. I am unwilling to make a change before the 5th September publication. Nor would I be happy with a change that is opposed by a consensus in the above forums. I am not yet convinced that this materially affects RDF since we *never* require the escaping to actually be performed, it is merely a theoretical exercise that defines a set of strings. I believe that the set of strings is the same whether or not % is itself escaped. Jeremy
