I don't see any quoting on my Zope installation. In both cases the whitespace is either between the two words or at the end.

There's a typo in my example - it should of course have been string:test?x=${x}

The line:

<a tal:define="x string:one two"
   tal:attributes="href test?x=${x}">test</a>

will create a link to x=one%20two as expected. However:

<a tal:define="x string:one "
   tal:attributes="href test?x=${x}">test</a>

will generate a link to x=one rather than x=one%20

I can't think of reason why ending spaces should be stripped rather than escaped. Using 'quote' from the urllib library quotes the above string correctly.
