As of the release earlier this week, you can now reliably take  
whatever you get back for the ID property to create a URI without  
having to do any encoding.  This works because guids returned in the  
ID field are now of the form '/guid/___' instead of '#____.'

So...

and
	http://www.freebase.com/view/guid/9202a8c04000641f8000000000021d2a

both give you the keanu reeves topic.  enjoy!  :-)
