Much more efficient as well. This makes all sorts of sense to me. We could take the literalist interpretation of the namespace rec (char-for-char means bit-for-bit) and then issue an architectural finding that in URIs - %-encoding MUST NOT be used unless it's required - %-encoding MUST use lower-case a-f Does this work? -Tim
