I agree the Content-location approach is slightly (but only slightly) architecturally cleaner, but I want to go with URL-encoding for one simple reason: Content-location requires that that extra implementation work be done on the server side, whereas URL-encoding can be had for free. Given the way the world works, the extra work just won't get done most times, and the negative effect we're trying to avoid (the universe of Web Services vanishes from URI-space forever) comes to pass. -Tim
