 This triggered off a different line of thought for me - some might think it
trivial, but it has caused trouble elsewhere.  In the DAML spec, are the
URIs supposed to be fully url-escaped or not?  A server  would probably
interpret the "+" in "daml+oil" as a space, so it might have to be escaped
if a retrieval were ever needed.  Either way - escaped or not - would seem
to be fine, there just should be a rule about it somewhere.
