Making tab (U+0009) valid in URLs looks wrong to me. The reason that
space and newline are not allowed is that, when printed, they met get
confounded as the result of text wrapping (noting that printed URLs may
get there by means other than specific software for handling web
material). When printed, there may be problems in determining the
number of spaces. Printing includes handwriting.
Tab would seem to have the same problem as spaces.

Emails are not formal business letters, whatever businesses may want.
RFC1855 says there should be an address here, but, in a world of spam,
that is no longer good advice, as archive address hiding may not work.
