No, because I don't know yet! :-)

No, I can't see adding broken functionality to the project.  Why don't you
just write a decode() function for yourself, and run the processed string
through it?

In the short-term, specific case you give, a backslash should do it:
\http://foo.com.

In the general case, I plan to make the parser modular somehow (don't ask me
how, yet), so clients can enable and disable individual construct
recognition.  It might be as simple as subclassing, or it might be more
dynamic.  I haven't given it much concrete thought.

After the merge (reStructuredText + DPS ==> Docutils), this weekend or next,
I want to work on a PEP Reader component, which will require such
functionality.  I'll know more once that's done.

You're welcome, and thanks for the feedback.
