I think URLDecoder.decode methods should have @throws IllegalArgumentException. I realize it's implementation specific as to whether IAE is thrown with bad input but given that the RI does throw IAE then consumers of the API should be prepared for it. The @implNote can stay and probably should be copied into the legacy decode method too. I added @throws IAE. On a 2nd thought, would that give no flexibility to alternative impls as the general (class) spec had given? With this addition, it becomes a requirement. If the @throws description starts with "if the implementation ..." then it should be clear that it is optional.
