This is what I was missing :-)

I don't know what is realistic. I see the tradeoffs are tight.

Ideally, url encoded links should have been prefixed with some kind of uri
syntax.
This way, you could know what to decode and what not.

Now, I guess the heuristic you propose would be fine in most cases.
I don't see that people will put a lot of percentages in their links.

Thanks for the explanations !
