Urgl.  This keeps getting more complicated.

How is this for a compromise:

- a feature tag is a member of the URI namespace
- a feature tags MUST be chosen in such a way that every % in the tag
  is the start of a %HH encoding
- tag comparison MUST be done by decoding all %HH encodings, then doing a
  case-insensitive octet-by-octet comparison.
