Won't toURI() convert spaces to '%'.  I was too lazy to determine exactly what 
the downstream code expects or tolerates with respect to this string.  Thus, I 
was attempting to improve the code in a way that involved the least amount of 
assumptions.  This is an approach that has gained popularity with me as I've 
aged. :)  I'm not sure of the impact of converting spaces to '%'.

Cheers,
Larry
