Awful. The % encoding is intended for putting *special* characters in a
URI, such as & or ?. You see it used quite often for ~ though, so it
should be valid for any character.=20

I quite like this one; it's consistent with the "bookmark" style # uses
for HTML and DjVu documents. Perhaps it would be something like #t1 or
#t2c19 to make it clearer. Admittedly, I'm less familiar with xine's
MRLs than RFC URIs, so I don't to what degree this conflicts with
current practice.=20

Bad idea. Multiple slashes are considered a single slash by unix;
Macintosh uses colon instead, and considers :: to be the root of the
filesystem.
