@marqh I like the overall suggestion of RFC3986. I think we should not adopt the "% encoding" concept of RFC3986. And, again, I think we should reserve leading "_" characters (per NUG) and multiple sequential "_" characters (per netCDF-LD). Are there any other special character sequences in the wild that anyone is aware of — in UGRID or Radial perhaps?
I notice that the NUG section you referenced implies that space characters are allowed as long as they are not at the end of a variable name. Do we want to allow internal spaces? -- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
