Yes, but in the case of the URI above, the purpose IS to change the meaning of '@' and '+' to be just data. If you don't encode them, it'd be like there's an out-of-place '@' (that was meant for the username:password part) and a '+' that represents a space. Can you comment about '@' ad '+' in 'mailto:' URIs though? -- Michael
