However this will force us to formally write down *how* the decoding is supposed to work. In practice, I've seen interoperability only for those clients that use UTF-8-encoded and percent-escaped segments, such as MS IIS, Microsoft Webfolder client, SAP, Xythos client or Adobe GoLive. If all implementers of SEARCH can live with this restriction (it will create a special class of URIs that do not map to a legal decoded segment), I'm all for it.
