Kent,
I think Jason is talking more about coding all the characters as
HTML entities. Something like converting
mailto:anaddress@someplace
into (false example)
&x#24242;x &x#103; .... and so on.
This came in a recent report about spam. It will only buy some time,
though, until the bots become smarter. You only need a convertion
table to get the real characters.
It shouldn't be hard to add that option, I guess. We are already
escaping many special characters.
BTW, the wai changes are progressing!
