Luckily, it happens there is a function for doing that in
javascript. The attached patch use this function to generate a valid
MRL. I checked the behavior of the code in presence of spaces and
korean caracters.

Notice that some downstream javascript functions were messing with
quotes leading to the wrong MRL. I removed them.

Do you see more issues with this patch?
