I looked at this again and I think I've stumbled on another small issue relating to hex escaping. If I type a link with an equals sign (=) into the link prompt of org-insert-link, the link inserted into my buffer has a %3D instead of the valid =. Tracing this, it goes through org-make-link-string, which hands off to org-link-escape which uses the defconst org-link-escape-chars as the table of values to escape. Org-link-escape-chars appears to only be used within org-link-escape at this time. I think = is escaped because it may have conflicted with the verbatim syntax at some point, but that doesn't appear to be an issue any more. Is there a reason not to remove it?
