[Zope-dev] OFS.objectManager checking object Ids

[Jay, Dylan]

As I said, when the url is quoted there is no problem.

http://azonia.auslabs.lucent.com/Auslabs/AuslabsFAQ/Where%20is%20X%3f

causes no problems. The above object is sitting happily inside Zope with a
question mark at the end. I had to let the bad_id check let it pass but is
there any reason why it shouldn't?
