all,

I fully accept that there are no perfect solution to this problem.
given that we are were we are...
it appears there is consensus building around Stuart's proposal.

that entails:
 - encode '%' as "%25"
 - advocate that URI parsers are forgiving about accepting bare '%'
   i.e. a '%' not followed by two valid hex characters is left untouched
 - no update to RFC4007
 - no new delimiter
 - interface names may themselves have to escaped (non-roman or [] characters)

please reply to the list if you support or disagree with the proposal _and_
have additional arguments for discussion.
(there is no need to reply with "+1" or "-1" without arguments.)

Best regards,
Ole
