Re: attr types

Hi Steve,

Sorry for the late reply, somehow I missed your e-mail ...

Unfortunately you have to deal with the String yourself because there is no 
canonical way to deal with the URI ... The #<stuff> is used by convention 
by a lot of folks (including myself) but is not part of any standard, 
therefore there aren't any general tools I know of that handle it.

So applications that deal with their data will need to handle the URI ... 
sorry.

There is some code in the data binding that does the URI processing, but 
I'll have to see how well I can extract it.

Let me know if you need anything else, sounds like you got really far along.

Yuzo
