The problem isn't percent encoding. The problem is UA-performed NCR encoding
when the submission charset is not UTF-8.
The only interoperable and backwards compatible way to avoid this problem is
that the server
1) Serves all its forms as UTF-8.
2) Does not expand NCRs, because strings that look like NCRs will always be
user-entered and not UA-generated when the form was served as UTF-8.
All in all, any site that has forms should use UTF-8. Or more generally, all
sites should use UTF-8.
(Migration to UTF-8 is about as easy as migration to any novel workaround for
this old problem. And migration to UTF-8 works with existing UAs while novel
workarounds would not.)
