The Full Standard URI spec (draft-fielding-uri-rfc2396bis-07.txt) and the Proposed Standard IRI spec (draft-duerst-iri-11.txt) both specify percent-encoding in the host part, particularly for support of internationalization.
It's a shame that the [EMAIL PROTECTED] list got dropped off of the cc list, since that's where all the experts on URI parsers etc. live. I'd like to request that those who would like to discuss using the raw '%' resend their message cc'ing both lists, so that discussion can include the relevant people.
