Description Léa Gris 2011-03-20 22:44:27 PDT 
A fragment identifier (id) should not be encoded using %xy escaping (RFC2396). Only the URL part in href should use % escaping according to RFC2396.

<a href="#%E9l%E9ment">This link</a>
<p id="%E9l%E9ment">should not point to this invalid id,</p>
<p id="élément">but should point here.</p>

The proper algorithm is described here: http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/history.html#scroll-to-the-fragment-identifier
