Seems like we need an escape char in ednish?

[dustingetz]

It should just fail fiddle/ident validation because this is always an accident. when the day comes that someone actually wants a ! in their keyword we can talk to them about it

[khardenstine]

Sure in fiddle/ident that seems unlikely, but all datomic args have this problem too:

Magn/olia! encodes to Magn!olia! in the url, and then decodes back to Magn/olia/

[khardenstine]

@dustingetz, if you pick an escape character, I can punch the rest through.

[dustingetz]

Instead of escaping can we fallback to percent encodings?

[khardenstine]

That would probably cause more harm than good.

URIs that differ in the replacement of an unreserved character with its corresponding percent-encoded US-ASCII octet are equivalent: they identify the same resource. However, URI comparison implementations do not always perform normalization prior to comparison (see Section 6). For consistency, percent-encoded octets in the ranges of ALPHA (%41-%5A and %61-%7A), DIGIT (%30-%39), hyphen (%2D), period (%2E), underscore (%5F), or tilde (%7E) should not be created by URI producers and, when found in a URI, should be decoded to their corresponding unreserved characters by URI normalizers.

I see, I think & would work
