indeed. See "Appendix C.  Delimiting a URI in Context" RFC3986..

   "In practice, URIs are delimited in a variety of ways, but usually
    within double-quotes "http://example.com/", angle brackets
    <http://example.com/>, or just by using whitespace:
                             .
                             .
                             .
    Using <> angle brackets around each URI is especially recommended as
    a delimiting style for a reference that contains embedded whitespace."
