> Always use lower-case a-through-f characters when %-escaping. I have discovered that a significant amount of existing code already uses upper case A-through-F characters when %-escaping. I wonder upon what grounds you recommend the use of lower-case? In particular we should note that the XQuery 1.0 and XPath 2.0 Functions and Operators escape-uri() function [1] recommends the use of upper case: "To ensure that escaped URIs can be compared using string comparison functions, this function must always use the upper-case letters A-F." /paulc [1] http://www.w3.org/TR/xquery-operators/#func-escape-uri Paul Cotton, Microsoft Canada 17 Eleanor Drive, Nepean, Ontario K2E 6A3 Tel: (613) 225-5445 Fax: (425) 936-7329 <mailto:pcotton@microsoft.com>
