We're saying the same thing (although sloppily in my case ;-). All I
meant
was that the specific example of escaping allowable characters showed
that
LOAD was unescaping them, but in an example that didn't immediately blow
up.
I agree that it's problematic for LOAD to unescape the URL prior to use.
