God, Gabe! Anything constructive to say? LoLz!

IF:
1. we want to allow ANY URI to be used in _xrd_t
2. and we don't want to require that minters of HXRI to escape
"problematic characters" such as '%' in _xrd_t value
3. and we don't want to require '+' to be encoded as %2B
Then we can't disallow %20, because who knows that %20 meant a SPACE
character (character semantics) or just byte value \x20 (byte
semantics). After all, it is a URI, and if we specified that no escaping
other than ';' and '&' is necessary, we need to be able to extract that
URI without changing anything.
