Avoid ugly URLs

Many a times for a better readability, we create lists and libraries naming them with spaces in between ("My Lists", "My Documents"). When such a name is used with a space in between, it actually results in an ugly url like My%20Lists, My%20Documents (%20 being the html encoded value for space). If we later rename the list and remove the space from the name, the url still does not change.

The recommended approach would be to create the list first with no space in the name (MyLists) and then rename the list to "My Lists". In this case, even after you change the name to include a space ("My Lists"), the url still remains as MyLists.
