Also, telling browser implementers what to do has very little chance of success. Speaking only for myself, I'm inclined to accept Dave Thaler's line of argument. The fact that some browsers in the past accepted a raw % and that IE today accepts an escaped % (i.e. %25) makes it very hard to suggest a consistent use of % at all. Maybe we just have to drop this point.
