URIs can't contain >spaces, but HTML validators don't complain. I'm leaning towards Björn's interpretation here. An 8bit char in a 7bit ASCII document is an error and should be reported and make the interpretation of the rest of the document entity suspect. Maybe this is really a double-byte encoding that only happens to have most MSB's MSb off (Most Significant (Byte|bit)). If I can figure out some way to catch this I think I'll make it generate an error or at the very least a warning.
