i just want to add my support for francis' question. i am not as far 
down the line implementing the spec, but i see myself asking the same 
question once i am. and i am still interested how james (snell) solved 
this riddle when adding support for the test case (where the test case 
behavior is hard to explain from the spec language).

http://code.google.com/p/uri-templates/wiki/Implementations lists a 
number of implementations, and it would be interesting to know what they 
have been doing, and how they handle the test case in question.

thanks and cheers,

dret.
