Well, it matters in the same sense I think as you don't know whether `%FF` is bogus UTF-8 or meant to represent byte 0xFF.

As for what the unreserved set should be, if you make it larger, don't you encroach on what 3986 considers reserved and for which changing the encoding would change the meaning? Aligning with JavaScript's notion seems nice too though, in a way. I guess I don't feel strongly.
