It is not uncommon to see URLs in the CJK locales containing characters in
their local encodings, e.g. Shift JIS. As UTF-8 becomes more common as a
content encoding you will see URLs with UTF-8 values in them. What I'm
trying to get at is you do not want your browser munging the URLs and
putting restrictions on their content which, while obeying the letter of the
specifications, do not reflect reality.
