Hello,

My example was about HTML, but the same process is used in every export
back-end. URL-encoded strings may also be invalid in other back-ends.

"org-XXX" is not "ugly", but functional :)

Note that the current behaviour was implemented as an improvement over
the previous solution, to help some users. You may want to dig into the
mailing list archives about it. IIRC, it started out when a Chinese user
reported an issue with targets.

LaTeX back-end uses `org-latex-prefer-user-labels'. HTML could use
a similar mechanism but no one bothered implementing it yet. In any
case, Org provides a robust default solution. I think it is a reasonable
expectation as a default.
