PB -- RFC says application should make sure never to escape a string twice. 

HT -- XLink explicitly does _not_ escape # or %. I think that was our last 
group consensus. 

PB -- believe they should include a health warning. Will cause confusion. 

HT -- that may be the right resolution. Propose -- "The question of escaping % 
is vexed. The issue should be explained in an accompanying note so that readers 
will be confident that this is an intentional omission." 

XG -- sounds fine. 

... 

SG -- we don't have such a health warning in our spec. 

HT -- I think that's OK. We need to raise an issue against 3.2.17.1.
