It certainly does in Firefox (the latter have a lot more fixup done to 
them, and there are also differences in terms of how character encodings 
are handled).

I would be particularly interested in data on this last, across 
different browsers, operating systems, and locales...  There seem to be 
servers out there expecting their URIs in UTF-8 and others expecting 
them in ISO-8859-1, and it's not clear to me how to make things work 
with them all.
