Description Vyacheslav Matva 2014-03-31 05:32:48 UTC 
http://url.spec.whatwg.org/#percent-decode

Algo "percent decode" item 2.3.1 says:
"Let bytePoint be the two bytes after byte in input, encoded, and then interpreted as hexadecimal number."

It must be:
"Let bytePoint be the two bytes after byte in input, DECODED, and then interpreted as hexadecimal number."

We take two bytes after "%" sign, then convert these bytes to code points (i.e. we DECODE these bytes), then interprete these letters as byte value written in hex format.
