OK, I see the issue. The token can be used in either CGI context or CURL 
context. I agree that '+' is not valid in CURL context (the standard says 
so). The standard also says % escape and '+' are both valid in CGI 
context. So, we really do not have a good path forward except to add '+' 
should the token be used in CURL context (i.e. TPC). If the Alice 
plug-in for XRootD supports both (does it?), then we should just say 
'+' should not be used to make the forward path consistent.
