D'oh.

I don't like tabs in this case because they are invisible, non-obvious,
and mandating them as the separator would be a backwards incompatible
change.

How about treating the directories as URI escaped strings instead?  So
that one could use "foo/bar%20quux" to mean "foo/bar quux".  In theory,
this is backwards incompatible as well, but I bet the cases where it
would bite are extremely rare.
