Btw, the reason I care is that the whole ".. but it's a standard" thinking 
really is dangerous. It's how you create absolute and utter crap.

It's why I have also brought up XML in this discussion, because XML is a 
classic example of something where this ".. but it's a standard" thinking 
has resulted in really bad solutions. It's pushed as a way to 
"interoperate", but then, since everybody does different things, the only 
thing you can actually interoperate with is by having a common parsing 
library for a REALLY HORRIBLY BAD FORMAT!

The same is true of a URL. What is there to interoperate with? The whole 
(and only) point of the git remote URL is to point git to a different git 
repository. There's no other reason to use it. So the only possible case 
we care about interoperability is with other git uses.

And those other git uses are not RFC1738-quoted, are they?
