OK, does anyone on the WG object to going the Proposed

What we currently have in the draft ID is:

   Conversion from a Human Readable Resource Identifier to an IRI or a
   URI MUST be performed only when absolutely necessary and as late as
   possible in a processing chain.  In particular, neither the process
   of converting a relative Human Readable Resource identifier to an
   absolute one nor the process of passing a Human Readable Resource
   Identifier to a process or software component responsible for
   dereferencing it SHOULD trigger percent encoding.

How should we fix this paragraph?
