Comment:
I'm not sure what to do in your first case. Maybe it should be treated the
same way, too. Needs thought. This is certainly a bit of an edge-case, but
I can see the use-case where a URL is cut-and-pasted into an email or
other text and that text is run through the urlize filter before being
displayed. It's more likely than not that it will already be encoded at
that point.
A URL of "www.mystore.com/30%OffCoupons" where the "%" is meant to be
treated as unencoded is actually invalid (the URL spec includes the
encoding requirement). So we need to have a guess at where the balance of
use-cases goes: are people going to be using "real" URLs or things they
hashed together themselves? We'll need some coins and a bit of time to
toss them (although obviously I'm leaning slightly towards favouring the
cut-and-paste scenario at the moment).
I just don't see this as an immediate "definitely don't change" case,
which is my logic for reopening. We might ultimately decide it's not worth
changing, but we at least should work out how people are meant to operate
with such URLs. I will move it to "design decision needed", though, which
I should have done yesterday, so we remember to actually make a decision
if it slips under the radar.
