I don't have an opinion on this particular issue, but it certainly would
be good to keep the terminology straight...:

There is no such thing as a "non-encoded" or "encoded" URI. RFC2396
describes legal URIs, and legal URIs never ever contain non-ASCII
characters.

The process of mapping the *characters* for instance -- inside a
filename -- containing non-ASCII characters should always be:

- encode using UTF-8, resulting in a byte sequence
- apply "hex"-escaping to those bytes that are outside ASCII or need to
be escaped inside a URI (such as a space character)
