For now, yes. If we need to change it for some reason we can do so
later.
I thought we decided to go with /_ .. that is, instead of /r1;tags, we'd
use /r1/_tags. Thus we say you can't have anything that starts with "_"
in the registry as those are reserved.
I prefer "$" to "_", but I much prefer "/_" to ";".
OK, maybe we didn't decide yet then. :)
I really don't like /_, because it a) looks weird (it doesn't seem as
clear at a glance that "r1/_tags" is *about* "r1" instead of something
under r1), and b) makes our path parsing code more complex.
You don't like ";" because of Pete Lacey's warning about certain proxies?
I prefer ";" because I think it looks really natural and because there
is a bunch of precedent for using it (I can dig that up again, but there
are even specs which specify ; as a metadata separator). However, I'm
OK with almost any single character that wouldn't normally show up in
filenames.... ">", "$", "~", etc.
I'd suggest we move forward with ";" for now, and consider switching
later if we get less vague feedback against it.
