Unfortunately no. The standard URL parsers will convert both %20 and  
+ to a space. In order to get our + back in "application/xrds+xml"  
for instance, we convert -all- spaces back to +. We don't have any  
way, without really getting into the guts of ruby or php, to know  
whether that space was originally a %20 or a +.
