The cases I saw were: * An extra space after the IRI. * An extra space before the IRI. * Legitimate-looking spaces in file or directory names in PATH. * Unescaped multi-word human-readable strings as query parameter values. * Space in query parameter name. * IRI included twice accidentally with " <" in between. (One case.) * Text meant to be alt text as href. (One case.) I didn't notice a single case that looked like the consequence of a missing quote. -- Henri Sivonen hsivonen@iki.fi http://hsivonen.iki.fi/
