By not decoding the URL you get a set of hex characters that matches
exactly what would appear in the URL bar of your browser. This *is*
the real URL, by decoding the contents there is always the risk of
making it less intelligible, but at the frequent benefit of making it
more intelligible.

The web pages already contain the correct charset for the contents.
We know in advance what the correct charset is for the page and it has
been set to this value for the pages that need a particular charset
(Polish and Russian translations).

The pages that need charsets already have one assigned by their
author. I cannot override that with a user option or it would break
those pages.
