That's one thing I didn't like at the proposed link syntax. Why not request parameters to always be on the third position? The semantic shouldn't influence the syntax, I really don't like sniffing to determine what that fragment does. And I don't think we should forbid characters in document names. Another option would be to use different delimiters, for example > as the delimiter between label and reference, and | as a delimiter before parameters (note that > and | were both valid delimiters in the old syntax) -- Sergiu Dumitriu http://purl.org/net/sergiu/ _______________________________________________ devs mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/devs
