Yes, please.

According to the RFC Tres referenced we can't just represent a URL as a
unicode string but would have to deal with the schemes' structure and
specific encoding issues.

To support the round-trip issue, one way that I can see would be to use
a specific URL object instead of a unicode string. That would be quite a
change, but we could probably make it work in a backwards compatible way.

Other suggestions?
