I should have also mentioned that I briefly considered changing rte_strspli=
t() to be able to handle that case because in python the split function han=
dles this scenario in the desired way:

	a =3D "key=3D"
	a.split('=3D')
	['key', '']

But, I figured that change would be too intrusive and would likely be rejec=
ted.
