Yes, however please note that I did not propose using the exact same
scheme - only a similar one. Specifically, I don't like having to
encode any plus chars. So "curl" would not do it right for you.
This also has the drawback I mentioned with surrounding whitespace
affecting processing, unless its encoding is formally required, which I
don't like (in this case, plain hex-encoding of everything becomes
easier for the user).
