Comment 1 Philip Jägenstedt 2011-03-19 18:02:48 UTC 
The ifragment production in http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3987 is not just a set of allowed characters, it also includes pct-encoded:

pct-encoded    = "%" HEXDIG HEXDIG

A string is either a valid production of ifragment or it is not, from the grammar it isn't possible to say that any particular characters are are not valid. Examples:

foo%bar -- should % or %ba be escaped?
foo%1bar -- should, %, %1 or %1b be escaped?
