[New-bugs-announce] [issue7007] Tiny inconsistency in the orthography of "url encoded" in the doc of urllib.parse

New submission from Mitchell Model <mlm at acm.org>:

The documentation of urllib.parse contains:
    URL encoded
    a “url-encoded” string
I am not sure what the official usage is, either in Python or more 
generally. Actually, in formal W3C documents the term used is percent-
encoding (with the hyphen, even when used as a noun). I don't expect 
anyone to use "percent-encoding" but maybe, especially as an adjective, 
the phrase in Python documentation should consistently be "url-encoded"?
