2. Default to UTF-8. In favour: Matt Giuca, Brett Cannon, Jeroen Ruigrok van der Werven Pros: Fully working and tested solution is implemented; recommended by RFC 3986 for all future schemes; recommended by W3C for use with HTML; UTF-8 used by all major browsers; supports all characters; most existing code compatible by default; unquote is inverse of quote. Cons: By default, URIs may have invalid octet sequences (not possible to reverse).

+1, assuming that if you have a different encoding in the URI you can pass it as a parameter.
