What makes this a bug? Do other browsers behave differently?

(In reply to comment #4) > What does IE do? IE 9 does not decode the apostrophe, it displays %27 like Chrome and Safari.

(In reply to comment #1) > What makes this a bug? I suppose it is more readable to decode the apostrophe, particularly for languages which use apostrophes more than, say, English (like French.) Would you consider displaying %65 instead of 'e' acc%65ptabl%65, for %65xampl%65?
