That's not an actual advantage. In the context of the URL standard all
you would have to talk about is a space-separated list of valid URLs.
URLs containing spaces do not suddenly become valid and indeed cannot
occur in a space-separated list because such a list is first split on
spaces. (Most of this is not drafted yet. I wanted to figure out
parsing first.)
