I didn't mean to cc that to the group.
Too little in that XForms 1.0 and 1.1 (which is what I meant when I said 2.0,
sorry) call for "non-ASCII and reserved" characters (from RFC 2396 + 2732) to
be percent-encoded. I suggested in Feb 2005 that the spec be changed to
instead say "non-unreserved" characters and to make reference to RFC 3986 so
that it wouldn't exclude "%" "#" "(" ")" "'" "!" "*" and any other ASCII-range
characters that should be percent-encoded. This was apparently not considered
an issue.
