Here is some feedback on the use of the 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded' media type in the latest drafts (10 or 11).
The draft refers to the 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded' media type for encoding parameters into the query component of URIs. For instance, see 4.1 in draft 11 has "In order to direct the end-user's user-agent to the authorization server, the client constructs the request URI by adding the following parameters to the end-user authorization endpoint URI query component using the "application/x-www-form-urlencoded" format as defined by [W3C.REC-html401-19991224]" However, this media type specifies how to encode parameters in the body of a representation but not in URIs. In fact use of this encoding for characters like spaces will break URIs.
