I apologize, I don't have time to properly digest this lengthy thread at the moment and will be out of pocket entirely until Tuesday. But off the top of my head, if you're limited to Latin-1 I don't think there are any reasonable choices for angle brackets besides the ASCII greater-than and less-than signs, 0x3C and 0x3E. The angle-brackety-looking things in the higher part of Latin-1 (0xAB and 0xBB) are used as quotation marks in European languages but I don't think will look right as URL delimiters (which I think from my quick skim is what you're looking at here), whereas < and > are pretty common for this and no one will bat an eye at those in non-UTF-8 contexts. If I'm way off base in understanding the problem, you have a few days to compose a lecture to me :)
