Comment:

 I agree with miqrogroove, where does it state that these are invalid
 links?
 encoded chars in urls are valid.

 I can see a reason why I would want to retain the "1°" in my permalink. If
 you strip this char out, then what other chars would you strip? all non
 US-ASCII?

 This seems like a 'wontfix' to me unless the reporter can site a specific
 example where Google will not crawl these urls.
