    In Big-5, two characters are duplicatedly encoded to have two code
    points. So, mapping from CNS 11643 or ISO 10646 can not be one to
    one.

Keld said "covered" not "maps one-to-one".  In any case, I agree that
there exists a need to use other character sets with the %XX encoding.
On the other hand, it would be reasonable to indicate a default inter-
pretation, and, for this purpose, I would suggest the UTF-8 encoding of
ISO/IEC 10646 (= Unicode 1.1).
