Delimiter used in FTP virtual usernames is invalid as per W3C spec

I just created a bugzilla for this, but I thought it'd make sense to raise this in the forum in case anyone else has run across it. What do you guys think? How responsive is cPanel to bugs usually?

Well, while browsers make crappy ftp clients, the ftp-url scheme is just as old as the http one. It was included in the beginning, see rfc1738, circie 1994. I just tried wading through rfc959 (ftp) but it's REALLY dry and I got bored. I'm not certain that it mentions what qualifies as a username, though. But we know what is *not* allowed in a uri-spec.

But anyway, who said I was using a browser? I'm actually trying to host an open-source software project's code repository. I was going to install Subversion on my box, but its apache module requires apache2. Then I found arch which doesn't require any server-side stuff at all, just an ftp server. But, you guessed it, it uses the FTP URI spec on its command-line.

I'm open to any tips on hosting an RCS package on cpanel, but I still feel this is a bug.
