Thanks Jeff, that's a useful summary... and the mixture of methods 
and syntaxes just shows why its so complicated for new users ... add 
in what works pasted into search in the map tool and its even more 
choices... knowing what works and what does not really is over complicated.

I also see this method of typing in chat and IM (and is used - 
needed? - in links in the V3 style "destination guide" which BlueWall 
recently implemented in OpenSim).

I think this needs the : style and does not allow spaces before the 
region name.

I wonder if this could all be simplified if there was ONE hypergrid 
URL style suign just the : or a / separator before the region name 
rather than the HG2.0 introduction of a space in there?  Maybe Diva 
can comment on why the space form was introduced and if its needed?

If we had one style we can maybe then persuade the viewer developers 
especially for those with OpenSim variants now to better support the 
formats in all the places to make things easier specially for new 
users and infrequent guests joining in VW meetings.

I have started to note some of the issues, inconsistencies  where 
they seem to give problems on mantis. Including some actual bugs.
