It's also allowed behaviour. '-' is a valid URI character, so any user agent that chops them off the end of a URI is broken. I realise that doesn't help the people using them, but it would be better to fix the problem in the correct place. Having said that, it looks like geohashes use [a-z0-9] which would avoid these problems. -- Jonathan (Jonobennett) _______________________________________________ dev mailing list dev@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/dev
