Thanks for your report. You are indeed right, parentheses are allowed unencoded in URL's, strictly speaking. However, I'd advice against it, for reasons demonstrated here: not all applications accept it. Better use them encoded, it works just aswell. That said, it is a buglet, albeit a minor one. I've forwarded it to the upstream developers. Marking as such. bye, Thijs
