First up, Andrew thanks for starting this thread. I agree there are two components to the connection string, the URL and the options. I purposely avoided discussing the URL format, to focus on the overall format of the connection string. Secondly, If the working group is leaning towards a particular format, then we should make an attempt to follow that. For some strange reason we've never seem to get all the clients to follow a single format. I think it's high time we make and effort to do so for the 0.20 release.
