Subject: XRI Escaping Tool

For my own
understanding, and as a service to the XRI community, I have written a tool to
implement what I understand to be the XRI to URI transformation rules. If you
input an XRI with unicode (or just ascii) characters, it will display the
IRI-normal and URI-normal forms. This obviously requires a utf-capable OS &
browser, which is most of them these days. Tested on firefox 1.0 and
IE6.
Please do try it.
I've implemented this using the python unicode facilities and the escaping rules
as I interpret them. I would like everyone to try this out themselves and please
report back a) if the results are what you expect and b) if you see any hiccups.
I think one of the
most complicated facets of XRI syntax is the escaping rules, but they are
critical for interoperability, so please do hammer away.

P.S. I will, of
course, publish source code once I get a feeling that its producing results that
seem to be agreeable with everyone.
