Apparently that is already happening in part anyway due to LEIRIs.
Modulo the URL encoding bit (which you can set to always being UTF-8 for
non-HTML contexts) I'm not sure what's so bad about allowing a few more
characters.
Whitespace is a big issue - auto-highlighting will fail all over the place.
The issue is that it's *not* the same thing.
Well, no, not exactly. But they perform essentially the same task,
modulo a few characters. And since one is a superset of the other (as
long as URL encoding is UTF-8) I don't see a point in having both.
Well, then let's just agree that we disagree on that.
