I specifically wanted to avoid any special regex to pull data out of the |

XML. Merging fields is acceptable, splitting them based on regex isn't. |

The '#' is debated in the URL scheme specs. |
| 10 |
The last RFC draft I saw for it was: |
| 11 |
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-butcher-irc-url-04 |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
Earlier drafts did explicitly call for dropping the '#', but that lead |
| 14 |
to trouble distinguishing between a user with the same name as a |
| 15 |
channel. |

We can allow 0 or more irc fields in the DTD... |

Don't use a regex on XML. Actually connect it properly. |

No, that's really bloated. |

It's not a mime type. It's URL scheme. |
