If you leave it up to the application you
end up with the following situation:
Given the template:
http://bitworking.org/{path}
and
path = "projects/httplib2/"
then application A interprets this as:
http://bitworking.org/projects/httplib2/
and application B interprets it as:
http://bitworking.org/projects%2Fhttplib2%2F
Those are two completely different URIs, only one of
which will work. Following this would create a spec
that provided no utility.
