And as stated before I think user agents other than browsers are already affected when it comes to e.g. Location header handling if that header where to contain a space somewhere or an "invalid" character. URLs leak and as such the way they have been implemented in browsers leaks too. E.g. search engines will most certainly want to implement them identically. The only piece of software I can think of where it does not matter is a piece of software that deals with walled garden content and when it comes to the web I think that should be the least of our priorities. -- Anne van Kesteren http://annevankesteren.nl/
