%3D ‘=’ and %2F ‘/’ are Trained Rat Level 1 material. Under your
suggestion, my name is %D0%AE%D1%80%D0%B8%D0%B9+%D0%A5%D0%B0%D0%BD and it
takes a certain effort to decode that in my head. I seriously doubt Tak
Kunihiro’s urlencoded name could be read at all without decoding.
(On the other hand, I regularly get offended at banks trying to
automatically transliterate my name when issuing a card for me.)
