I didn't mean to start a debate when I complained about Webware's
simplistic URI mapping strategy.  I was just giving a heads up to anyone
trying to go where I had been.  It looks like Kendall had already
figured it out.

Geoff: I don't have a problem with the current behavior being the
default.  When I designed URLDecode, preserving the existing behavior
was a major goal.  

I don't remember why URLDecode never made it into Webware -- probably
only because I didn't have the energy/time to polish it and push it
through, or maybe because I just got distracted doing other things. (The
perfectionist in me wanted to fix too many things. Starting Jaguar with
a clean slate seemed easier.)

Anyway, Geoff is at worst ambivalent, and there are at least three
people who want very much to have the URI decoding fixed.  What do we
need to do to get it there?

I have created two wiki topics for the discussion, since I think this
fits better in wikispace than in mailing list space.


http://webware.colorstudy.net/twiki/bin/view/Webware/ManagingTheURISpace
is for high-level best practices that we have discussed in the WebDAV
thread.

http://webware.colorstudy.net/twiki/bin/view/Webware/UriMapping is for a
concrete implementation that can go into Webware RSN that can replace
the current filesystem-centric mapping strategy.
