That's the time I do notice when it's added in firefox. Sometimes I've been known to add them to make the url continuous so the full link is clickable, other wise most text based tools urlizing will break at the first space. I avoid spaces in my urls like the plague for that reason and not sure if the rendered page in ff will do the same. As for I.E. and/or opera I'm far from an expert on them (same with ff too tbh) and not sure how they handle spaces.
Can't you add a django.template.defaultfilters.slugify() to the url before it is added/saved? If not, don't worry about it. Mike -- I might be able to shoehorn a reference count in on top of the numeric value by disallowing multiple references on scalars with a numeric value, but it wouldn't be as clean. I do occasionally worry about that. --lwall
