Personal opinion: Factor it out. Provide a filename-to-URI convenience method (which might have to be different on different operating systems, in fact) but have the APIs expect URIs.
You might even want to move absolutizing of relative URIs into that convenience -- let folks pass in the base URI at that time. ______________________________________ Joe Kesselman / IBM Research --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
