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.
