[OAI-implementers] name value pair question

[Rob Tice]

Hi all

I have just subscribed to the list as I was hoping to seek the opinion of
the implementation community on an interoperability issue we are currently
having.

We are experiencing some problems based around how we submit name value
pairs in a query and the specification of a name without a value. 

Take the following query

?verb=ListRecords&metadataPrefix=oai_dc&from=&to=18-10-2005

We are taking the view that this is a valid query i.e. the specification of
&from= with no value is syntactically correct. 

Are we correct in this assumption?

Apologies if this is a trivial question.

Best Regards

Rob Tice
