Right, I avoided stating the obvious that what is "substantial" and what
is required to convince someone to implement something is typically more
subjective and the proposition as such a fallacy. If you lose sleep over
browsers using & as separator and escaping "/" and ":" without any need,
you might see a substantial benefit, and if you love those properties of
the legacy format, you might see it as a substantial deterioration.

I will do so in the context of or once I get to raising a related issue.
