Comment (by pishmishy):
I hoped I'd get that response ;-) I don't think the whitelist needs to be
that large. To work, whitelist would limit the slug to just (see RFC 3986
Appendix A)
{{{
ALPHA / DIGIT / "-" / "." / "_" / "~"
}}}
I'm not sure that'd be well received but if we could find a way to make it
work.
I think we have three options.
- Do nothing. This seems inconsistent, we have done something for other
characters.
- Whitelist the small set of characters that won't be percent encoded
according to RFC 3986
- Whack-a-mole filtering of characters as and when people ask for it.
