Re: Just the issues: encoding public ids as URNs

[Tony Coates <Tony.Coates@reuters.com>]

As general rules, I myself would favour colons as separators (replacing "//"),
commas as sub-component separators (replacing "::"), pluses to replace spaces,
and all other characters that need encoding (including "+") replaced using
%-escaping.  The biggest problem is the "+" or "-" for whether the FPI is
registered or not.  We could use "reg" or "unreg", though it's slightly verbose.
Similarly (but worse) "plus" or "minus".  What other thoughts do people have?

     Cheers,
          Tony.
