Can someone tell me if I am misinterpreting the spec?
Specifically, section 2.4 of RFC 2396
<file://localhost/d:/tech/internet/rfc2396.htm> defines "escaped"
characters using the %xx notation (percent sign and two hex digits).
Section 2.4.2 of the spec says that "%" "always has the reserved
purpose of being the escape indicator".
But when I replace the "i" in a mailto: with %6c, neither Mozilla
1.4 nor MSIE 4 recognizes it as a mailto link. When I replace the
"i" with l, both browsers recognize it.
It seems unlikely both browsers would have the same two errors, but
can someone point out how I'm misreading the spec?
