No, they do not sign from the same rec.

XML Schema datatypes <http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-2/#anyURI> hands the 
problem to <http://www.w3.org/TR/2001/REC-xlink-20010627/#link-locators> 
the Linking Language which defines an "escaping procedure" that is to be 
applied to locator attributes to turn them into URIs.

One feature of that process is that space characters are converted.

Just to add confusion, the XPath 2 iri-to-uri function performs what seems 
to me to be the same conversion, but its specification does not refer to 
xs:anyURI - <http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath-functions/#func-iri-to-uri>.
