+1. This isn't a techical response, but an intuition that the more a URI is treated as content, the more worms will appear in the can. Metadata is content; URIs should identify content, not carry it. Is it possible to just label this as "bad practice" and let the risk fall on the implementor? len From: Norman Walsh [mailto:Norman.Walsh@sun.com] Handed a random URI about which you know nothing, my position is that it is opaque and you've got no business peeking inside it trying to guess stuff.
