yep all '/' ':' and probably others are translated to '_' so you lose
information.  Maybe for MSIE translations we can just add data (such
as the 'real' title) tot the url shortcut file, it's an .ini file and
I tried adding something which didn't cause any problems.

anyone crack that yet?

fine with me. 

You use the term profile. From what I read about Web collections it
seems this is a very loose term. Looking for an XML way of defining a
profile I would say Architectural Forms are an other (standardized)
answer to the same question. But even then the validation of data
values is very limited in SGML and very very limited in XML.

What about the date/time attributes: follow the w3c NOTE about Date
and Time Formats? (ex. 1998-09-29T18:30:34-05:00)
