If so I agree with Vit that it's not broken. The filename is being transformed for a particular tool to use. The filesystem allows it because it doesn't contain Null bytes. The guidelines don't have to be changed to accomodate it because the characters are all encoded in utf-8.
As you point out, the tool in question may well not be using proper URLs internally but we do not make the demand that any of our tools only use URLs to access files. > > It doesn't matter how it would look if you'd like to refer to the filename > using URL, the truth is that its the filename RI is using.

I believe I looked at a different rubygem with a similar rpmlint warning and came to the same conclusion. -Toshio
