You would be able to do something like
translate('abc...zABC...Z1..9','1') for classifying
alphabetic-nummeric characters, and thus avoid these. The problem - as
I see it - arises when you get something that is out of these
classifications, namely the ones that you want to escape.

I think that I am still correct in saying that there is no intrinsic
way of stating that eg. ' ' (space) equals & #x20; (and should
therefore be replaces with %20). This part would have to be done using
a choose-when expression, I think.
