On reflection, I think I disagree, and favor the URL-encoding approach. 
  I agree the Content-location approach is slightly (but only slightly) 
architecturally cleaner, but I want to go with URL-encoding for one 
simple reason: Content-location requires that that extra implementation 
work be done on the server side, whereas URL-encoding can be had for 
free.  Given the way the world works, the extra work just won't get done 
most times, and the negative effect we're trying to avoid (the universe 
of Web Services vanishes from URI-space forever) comes to pass. -Tim
