In fact, an URL does not disallow any characters. It only requires that some of them need to be escaped. Thus, a Zope id could contain any character, would Zope properly escape all characters not literally allowed in URLs. I have changed our Zope version to allow any character in ids different from ";" and "/". Allowing these, too, would require a different task assignment between "cgi.py" and ZPublisher (more precisely: "ZPublisher.BaseRequest.BaseRequest.traverse". -- Dieter
