Ah, sure. That was my original plan, but then I realised that the URL
canonicalisation (or decomposition) step was already there, and I was
concerned about adding an extra step that changed the dynamics of URLs
for this specific case.

Let me take another look and see if I can figure out a reasonable way
of percent-encoding the URL in the specific case of playlists (or
possibly just HLS).

Thanks!
