Re: [whatwg/url] unicode fragments (#150)

The address bar is a hard problem. If we always show everything encoded, we basically make it useless for some set of pages and people, e.g., Wikipedia articles with titles in Kanji visited by folks that can read Japanese. On the other hand, I don't think most people should really be looking at the address bar beyond the domain (and the rest can be hidden until you need to copy), but folks are going to disagree on that one and only Safari is really that far ahead right now.

There's also the aspect that we cannot dictate the address bar since it's UX. And you could potentially show decoded, but copy encoded, etc. I think for this issue we should consider it out-of-scope, and just consider the effects we can directly observe through JavaScript and following links in documents.
