We aren't reinventing anything.  I certainly saw "+" in URLs long before I saw
"%20".  It just happens that Netscape people tend to use the "+" form and IE
users tend to use "%20" (or just a plain space).  In suggesting "+", I simply
suggested the longstanding and traditional replacement for spaces in URLs which
is the easier of the two alternatives to read.  Or is my reading of history
incorrect here?  I only remember it as I experienced it, which may not be as it
happened.

     Cheers,
          Tony.
