Tim,

Thanks for the reminder on my action piece.

In "Prospero" change everything from "The path part contains ..." to read.

The path part contains a host specific object name and an optional
version number. If present, the version number is seperated from the
host specific object name by the characters "%00" (percent zero zero), this
being an escaped string terminator (null). External Prospero links are
represented as URLs of the underlying access method and are not
represented as Prospero URLs.

The BNF becomes:
prosperoaddress prosperolink
prosperolink p r o s p e r o : // hostport / hsoname [ % 0 0 version ]
