The HTML5 > spec relies on spaces not being allowed in URLs in various places. In section 2.3.2 (Parsing URLs): # Add all characters with codepoints less than or equal to U+0020 or # greater than or equal to U+007F to the <unreserved> production. And RFC 3986 says: # Characters that are allowed in a URI but do not have a reserved # purpose are called unreserved. These include uppercase and lowercase # letters, decimal digits, hyphen, period, underscore, and tilde. # # unreserved = ALPHA / DIGIT / "-" / "." / "_" / "~"
