Issue 11161: Section: 13.6.10.1 (corba-rtf)
Source: ADLINK Technology Ltd (Mr. Steve Osselton, nobody)
Nature: Revision
Severity: Significant
Summary: The use of the '/' character to identify the object key component of a corbaloc URL is ambiguous where a protocol address also contains the character. Example: corbaloc:uiop:/tmp/uiop/xx/steve This could represent either a uiop address '/tmp/uiop' and an object key 'xx/steve/ or a uiop address '/tmp/uiop/xx' and an object key 'steve'. Suggest removing the '/' character from the list of non excaped object key characters (bottom of page 13-26)to resolve this ambiguity. The corbaloc would then become: corbaloc:uiop:/tmp/uiop/xx%27steve
