One can refine that a bit. If after a space you find a ">" if probably gobbled up too much. Similarly for a "<". Or, more common, a "=", but only if it occurs before the next "&", "#", or "?" (the latter in the case of a path only. At some point we have to wonder what we are trying to accomplish here. There are lots of gray lines where &lang=en in the query part of a URI should be non conforming, but a space in a path might not be. - Sam Ruby
