Hi,

I've got an issue I don't know where to ask (because there are Django, DRF 
and django-filter included) and how to handle it (I don't find a 
documentation or any issues on that) but I think this is the best place to 
start.

We have an API with a datetime field we want to filter with "greater than" 
using django-filter. That means we have an URL like 
/api/books/?published__gt=1994-11-05T08:15:30+05:00. That works fine as 
long as you don't have the "+" in the query value. (That means you can use 
timezones behind UTC ("-") and UTC with the "z" notation.)

My first question is:

1) Is ISO 8601 a good practice as query value in URIs? If not what is the 
best practice?

What happens is that Django's QueryDict is used which makes Use of Django's 
limited_parse_qsl (taken from some version of urlparse) which replaces the 
"+" by a " " (space) in query values 
<https://github.com/django/django/blob/master/django/utils/http.py#L425>.

2) How to solve this?

I've also created a test repository <https://github.com/dgilge/test_drf> to 
make sure that no other packages caused the problem.
