James M Snell commented on ABDERA-150:
--------------------------------------

The Sanitizer is not, and was never, intended to provide percent-encoding.  The 
point of the sanitizer is to take an input string and make it reasonably 
suitable for use as a segment of a URL.  The goal is to produce more user 
friendly URLs and "foo_bar" is more friendly than "foo%20bar".  If you need 
"foo%20bar" then use the EncodingUtil class or the java.net.URLEncoder to 
produce a properly percent-encoded string. 

> EncodingUtil.sanitize() behavior has changed

> In the 3.0 client, EncodingUtil.sanitize() would escape a space in a String 
> correctly -- with "%20".  Now it replaces it with an underbar ("_").
> Sanitizer.sanitize() does the same thing.  So existing code that depended on 
> this method is now broken.  
> For example when using Abdera with Mule Galaxy, it has a default URL that 
> includes a space for it's atom feeds "Default Workspace", so the Abdera 
> sanitizer couldn't be used reliably since it would make this 
> "Default_Workspace".  And looking at the code, sanitize only allows to to 
> specify a particular slug to replace all undesired characters with -- so 
> blindly saying replace with "%20" means that all undesired characters would 
> be replaced with that, rather than with the proper HTML encoding.
