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.
