Re: question about IRI spec

I think you mint the fragment.

Noting %41 is a percent escape sequence that is legal but inappropriate 
for minting, then:

http://example.org/foo#         does not have the relevant warning
#toto%41                        does
http://example.org/foo#toto%41  does
#toto                           does not
http://example.org/foo%41       does
http://example.org/foo%41#toto  does

Examination of the relative reference and the base URI and the resolved 
URI allow one to see where the problem occurred.

Ditto for say NFKC.
