The technical point isn't necessary for the response so I've taken it out.

It's just the overlap with "%" gives different ways to the same result. 
At this stage, I suggest we leave it as-is.

:foo%20bar and :foo\%20bar are the same characters in an IRI.

(While % should only even be followed by 2 hex digits, I would observe, 
that isn't always so in the wild).
