That's what occurred to me as well. I think a "url decode parser type"
would be pretty useful in many cases.

I am still very busy with the encryption/signature/security pack stuff
(plus finally releasing 7.4...), but I'll try to at least fit that in
within June.

Also thanks for your patience, I now remember you already explained it. I
should probably add this to a bugzialla bug tracker...
