If Org links are escaped by Org will the URLs be functional outside of Org?
i.e., If I am on some machine, that has no Emacs or Org or if I am using a version of Org that uses "new unescape" algorithm but the original link was encoded with the "old escape" algorithm, will Copy-pasting the link to a browser still work. If Org is a MUST to unescape the link then it would be a good decision to re-look at the link syntax so that the questions of escape and un-escape is dealt with squarely and have no reasons to arise in future. [1] IIRC, escaping doesn't happen if URL is copy-pasted but only if it is "inserted". i.e., escaping much depends on the workflow of the user and the workflow of a user could much depend on his whims and fancies and day of the week and seasons of the year. Just a cent from a Org user.
