That's not an actual advantage. In the context of the URL standard all you would have to talk about is a space-separated list of valid URLs. URLs containing spaces do not suddenly become valid and indeed cannot occur in a space-separated list because such a list is first split on spaces. (Most of this is not drafted yet. I wanted to figure out parsing first.) -- http://annevankesteren.nl/
