(Whiteboard: [sng-scrubbed])

Currently we just put the tag in there, that means we could end up generating invalid uris in some case. When we work on the new API, we want to do something about it.

If we encode the component part of the URL, this should work. Then we'll need to decode when showing the URL in the UI.
