Thanks again, I see your point, but this would make the syntax absolutely obscure.

The idea is to keep it simple, to just call

     ?url=theurl&sel=.simple_stuff

I will look at using something else than % as you suggested.

It doesn't make the syntax obscure, it makes the syntax standard. Your syntax, being ad hoc, is obscure.
