I think it may become necessary to be able to put any type of character in these
XRL commands. I was suggesting maybe allowing them to be escaped with \ or
allow a %HEX syntax [like %20 for space] like in URLs. For unicode I guess we
can use %XXXX style syntax.
Today I will test this feature with the policy. I hope the current code allows
characters such as =, +, *, (, ) which will be needed right from the start.
