I think the discussion is getting carried in a direction where we are
missing a point: spam detection.

You won't solve a problem by defining there is no problem.
In these spams people are requested to remove the spaces when
entering the given string ("url") in their browser.
IMHO, the point here is:
how can these obfuscated URI be detected as such and be submitted to
URI(BL) rules, so that those mails can more easily be classified as what
they are: spam - no matter what final recipients might "deserve" or do
with them (or not).
