Description Jonathan Marsh 2007-03-29 17:00:30 UTC 
I think "=" could harm a query param.  "?{name}={value}" when name has an
'=' will result in an ambiguity between where the name ends and the
parameter begins if "=" isn't encoded.

Not the worst problem I can imagine though...

Per http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-ws-desc/2007Mar/att-0083/20070329-ws-desc-minutes.html#item07 we will add "=" to the lists of characters that SHOULD be encoded in bullets 3 and 4 ofr 6.7.1.1.
