[ZPT] URL quoting in ZPT

I just ran into a puzzling little issue. Let's say I want to construct
an URL with a query string like this in ZPT:
<a tal:attributes="href string:${here/absolute_url}?id=${myid}">Go</a>
The problem is that while "here/absolute_url" gets URL quoted as it
should, "myid" does not. If the value of myid contains a space or some
other disallowed character, some browsers (like MSIE) will break.
So there must be some simple way to get a string url_quoted, but I can't
think of what it would be. Any suggestions?
