At the very least, both should be allowed (at most, the
"<>" solution should be adopted alone). I don't like reading
gibberish in URLs, and I'm sure I'm not alone. In theory,
tools should be able to interpret it. In practice, we'll be
staring at the URL in raw plaintext form for quite a while.

So, in other words, you want:
URL: ftp://site.com/path/file%20name "my description"
I'd prefer:
URL: <ftp://site.com/path/file name> "my description"
The one change being the greater/less-than delimiters.
