I don't think it helps to say that they are URL-encoded if we are required to transmit it in a URL. These leaves the client wondering whether they got the label in the URL-encoded form or not (e.g. when it appears in a Revision-Selector header. I believe it will be simpler and less error-prone if we just say that they are UTF-8 Unicode characters that have been URL-encoded. Any client that handles URL's will be able to handle URL-encoding, and assumedly any WebDAV client will need to be able to handle URL's.

I suggest that we say labels are UTF-8 Unicode characters; and the resulting bytes are URL-encoded if we are required to transmit it in a URL (unlikely). Tim
