I still think that it doesn't. The RFCs haven't changed, and can't
change for compatibility reasons. The encoding of non-ASCII characters
in URLs remains as underspecified as it always was.

Now, with IRIs, the situation is different, but I don't think the patch
claims to implement IRIs (and if so, it perhaps shouldn't change URL
processing in doing so).
