I don't like tabs in this case because they are invisible, non-obvious, and mandating them as the separator would be a backwards incompatible change. How about treating the directories as URI escaped strings instead? So that one could use "foo/bar%20quux" to mean "foo/bar quux". In theory, this is backwards incompatible as well, but I bet the cases where it would bite are extremely rare.
