Ray, I don't quite understand the "to avoid putting http URIs in
OpenURLs" part. An info URI as well as an HTTP URI use the same
encoding rules from RFC 3986, URI Generic Syntax. So neither
has an advantage over the other. If you have a %80%CC in your
info URI or HTTP URI then sticking it in an OpenURL will
require it to become %2580%25CC. So what am I missing about
your statement?
Andy.
