Hi all.

The ocoins.info "spec" contains an example which includes:

&rft_val_fmt=info:ofi/fmt:kev:mtx:journal

When I first saw that, I thought, gee, shouldn't that be
escaped/encoded somehow? If I were creating an SAP1 KEV context object,
I believe (I confess escaping/encoding still confuses me) would need to
encode this like:

&rft_val_fmt=info%3Aofi%2Ffmt%3Akev%3Amtx%3Ajournal

If I'm putting an SAP1 KEV context object into my COinS, then I'd think
I'd leave it alone just like that---except the example makes different
choices about escaping.

Nowhere in the ocoins.info "spec" is the word escape or escaping
mentioned, or encode/encoding in the context of this question.  So it's
a bit confusing what is supposed to be reccommended/required here.  All
we have is the example to look at.

Can we get some clarity as to how a COinS should be encoded/escaped,
and maybe put it on ocoins.info?  To me, again, a COinS should probably
be encoded just like a SAP1 KEV, and then nobody needs to specify
anything else.  Or at least that should be an option that applications
are required to support (it's been suggested to me that Zotero may not
support escaped COinS).  If you aren't going to say "just like"
something else, then I guess ocoins.info needs to spell out how things
should be escaped/encoded itself.  One way or another, the current
vagueness and spec only by one example seems to be leading to
confusion?

Thanks,
Jonathan
