You might be right in retrospect; I do recall that changing several years
ago to where multiple dots were allowed. My mistake.
But both IE8 and FF will change a space to %20; I just tried it again. My
site.com turns into my%20site.com. It happens with a lot of other characters
too changing to their value instead of symbol.
HTH,
