If I remember the discussions around charsets in URIs correctly, utf-8 is recommended by the w3c, but not required by the URI spec.

What I am trying to say is that conversion of %-endoding back to characters is not well defined. >> >> 3. Drop '-sub'. >> >> At this point this is probably my favorite option.
