You clearly don't understand the problem then, or what uri-escaping is about.
This isn't about "voting".  This is about *doing the right thing*.

You *cannot* uri-escape a string that already has a path to it.
You can only uri-escape the path steps.

I'm finding it hard to take a side on this issue. I believe not breaking 
existing code is the ultimate right thing to do. (Unless the problem absolutely 
calls for it.) In this case, we probably should've used a separate filter name 
to do the correct functionality.

Now that the release has already been put out, however, I'm not sure whether it 
is wise to switch it back to the old method. (Also 2.15b has been available for 
quite some time.) Switching back might break someone else's code now.

If staying with this method, then perhaps it would be reasonable to add the 
functionality of the old uri filter into a new filter? (Or maybe add a param 
for it?)

Neutrally,
