I'd agree, but...

file:///c:/Program Files/hmmmm


No one would be mad enough to put a space in a directory name
like "Program Files" would they? That would be silly....

So the choice is; do you make the end user (if it's end users creating
the xml files) do the %20 escaping, or do you let the end user use a
space and specify that somewhere along the chain between the xml file
and the URL resolution the space gets encoded. Just simply avoiding
them isn't really an option.
