Besides, not all instances can be escaped. It has a semantic meaning for URLs, when it occurs before the hostname; it may not be common, but surely once in a while someone posts a URL that includes a username/password combo (presumably one that is okay to appear in public archives)... at least in examples at any rate. -- Micah J.
