Maybe, given the original point which was to distinguish spaces from
explicit '%20' in urls, I shouldn't be asking for this; but with the
latest patch in place I still have a problem. Static:Simple sees a
req->path which includes the encodings and therefore reports (correctly,
under the circumstances) that it cannot find the file specified. Does the
patch need to be applied even earlier in the processing or shouldn't I be
asking?

Meanwhile, I've posted Trout's Law on the wall.
