Section 19 asks for feedback on at-risk features:
http://www.w3.org/TR/sparql11-query/#grammar

I strongly support allowing percent encodings in the local part of a
prefixed name:

    Allow the character, "%", follwed by two hex digits, 
    in the local part of prefixed names.

This would solve the problem that motivated my earlier request for an
ENCODE_FOR_LOCAL_NAME function:
http://www.w3.org/2009/sparql/wiki/Future_Work_Items
The need for percent encoding in a local name shows up frequently when
SPARQL Update operations dynamically create new URIs.
