There also appears to be some differences in Unicode normalization
(assuming I tested this enough), see:

http://web.lookout.net/2012/03/unicode-normalization-in-urls.html

In my tests:

Safari applied NFC normalization to the path, query, and fragment.
Chrome applied NFC normalization to the fragment only.
MSIE, Firefox, and Opera did not apply normalization anywhere.

I plan to do it slowly over the course of the next week or two.
