The escaping specified in
<http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/#custom-handlers> is
slightly different than the escaping done by encodeURIComponent (as
described at
<http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Core_JavaScript_1.5_Reference:Global_Functions:encodeURIComponent>).
Specifically, encodeURIComponent is documented as not escaping:
! * ' ( )
characters, whereas the spec seems to want these characters to be
escaped. Is this intentional? If so, what's the motivation?
