I wonder if it is really necessary to repeat the whole list of characters
that are never escaped (regardless of $escape-reserved). As a reader I
would assume a subtle difference between these paragraphs, but there
isn't. (aside from the "specifically" ;-)
Wouldn't it be more readable to specify this list only once?

Almost. The argument URI should read
"http://www.example.com/00/Weather/CA/Los%20Angeles#ocean"
^^^
(like in the second example, note the missing "/00")
The third example has been already commented by Michael Kay.
