Comment:

 In themes I've recently worked on, I've been adding `add_filter(
 'the_permalink', 'esc_url' );`. This is a pretty obvious change. Let's add
 this in 3.4-early.

 Ultimately, it will cause some issues, but it will be rare: A)
 htmlspecialchars() is used, rather than esc_url() or nothing, and B) the
 URL actually has something to be encoded, which is not particularly common
 at least regarding ampersands.
