Right now the list of special characters that wont work ok are: / slash = equals \ backslash / and \ wont be problems for values stored. They would be problems for keys.
Moving bug fomr XP-COM to XPCOM. Cleaning up Bugzilla. XP-COM will be removed.

The fix needs to be checked into RDF and tested (from rdf.h): /* ProgID prefixes for RDF DLL registration. */ #define NS_RDF_PROGID "component://netscape/rdf" #define NS_RDF_DATASOURCE_PROGID NS_RDF_PROGID "/datasource" #define NS_RDF_DATASOURCE_PROGID_PREFIX NS_RDF_DATASOURCE_PROGID "?name=" #define NS_RDF_RESOURCE_FACTORY_PROGID "component://netscape/rdf/resource-factory" #define NS_RDF_RESOURCE_FACTORY_PROGID_PREFIX NS_RDF_RESOURCE_FACTORY_PROGID "?name="

Well then. you could do your change and reassign the bug back to me if it aint fixed.
Accepted bug to get of terry's spambot.
Okay, this works. But -- I can't figure out how to mark it as verified. Can I not do this as a lowly developer?
