UTF-8 in percent encodings is becoming a defacto standard. Otherwise the browser has to display the percent escapes in the address bar, rather than the intended text.
Duh! The address bar should contain the URL, which is the intended text. The escapes are there for a reason. If I pass some octets using percent escapes via the query string or request body, it's not text, not even intended. It's still a collection of octets. Translating them back (and forth when I press enter in the address bar) is a pretty ambigious operation and therefore pretty wrong.
The defacto standard does not exist. There's a real one instead: RFC 2396.
