Because they don't allow them now.  All the specs exclude square
brackets from the list of characters %-encoded by the processor,
either by explicitly saying so, or by not listing them.

If LEIRIs said that square brackets in the fragment get %-escaped
by the processor, and we changed the specs to refer to LEIRIs, that
would be a normative change.
