I assume this is for URL post data after ?
Like
Web//URL.php?search=this+string+syntax

If yes could it only do that with text after the question mark? And not the
actual address. (I do not think it should modify the address, only the post
arguments)

This would fix Drag.Paste("text/uri-list") problems.

Or maybe FromUrl() could take an optional argument to not translate + to
spaces?
