Speaking for myself only, I'd like to see IRIs allowed to contain all of these directly except SPACE. I think the issues with the others (ISO 646 variants, bad EBCDIC translation tables) have more or less gone away now. Perhaps < and > should still be kept out for the sake of using them as delimiters; I don't feel strongly about it one way or the other. I think SPACE in IRIs (as opposed to %20) is a bogon, and shouldn't be allowed, the xpointer() scheme notwithstanding. The other schemes do not require it. -- John Cowan http://www.ccil.org/~cowan <jcowan@reutershealth.com> "Any legal document draws most of its meaning from context.
