Yes, something like that.
Is there any reason not to use apr_uri_[un]parse to canonicalize the URL?

It should be fairly easy to canonicalize the URLs while the entries file
is being parsed. It's a memory-only operation, so performance is not an
issue. I see no reason to bump the WC version because of such a change;
after all, the WC format remains backward-compatible, and if we happen
to rewrite the URL in the entries file (which we will, sooner or later),
older clients can still use that working copy.
