I don't think that's a good idea. In general, parsing an URI isn't that easy, in particular determining the end is undefined AFAIK. In your example the semicolon should probably be considered part of the URI, even though that's obviously not what you intended. Using a strings or a quoting construct may be a bit more cumbersome, but at least it isn't ambiguous. Leon
