OK (and I agree that's what the spec currently implies).

OK, I think what confused me is we said "%%%" was invalid
rather than saying something simpler and more likely such
as "xy%z" was invalid.  I was thinking maybe there was
something about a string of %'s that was the (only) invalid
case, when it's just the case that any % in an HRRI must
be followed by two hex digits (because any % in an HRRI
is treated as the start of an escape sequence).

Thanks for clearing that up for me.
