Agreed, here's a part of the diff:

#v+
 This module provides functions to escape and unescape URI strings as
-defined by RFC 2396 (and updated by RFC 2732).
-A URI consists of a restricted set of characters,
-denoted as C<uric> in RFC 2396.  The restricted set of characters
-consists of digits, letters, and a few graphic symbols chosen from
-those common to most of the character encodings and input facilities
-available to Internet users:
+defined by RFC 3986.
 
-  "A" .. "Z", "a" .. "z", "0" .. "9",
-  ";", "/", "?", ":", "@", "&", "=", "+", "$", ",", "[", "]",   # reserved
-  "-", "_", ".", "!", "~", "*", "'", "(", ")"
+A URI consists of a restricted set of characters.  The restricted set
+of characters consists of digits, letters, and a few graphic symbols
+chosen from those common to most of the character encodings and input
+facilities available to Internet users.  They are made up of the
+"unreserved" and "reserved" character sets as defined in RFC 3986.
 
+   unreserved    = ALPHA / DIGIT / "-" / "." / "_" / "~"
+   reserved      = ":" / "/" / "?" / "#" / "[" / "]" / "@"
+                   "!" / "$" / "&" / "'" / "(" / ")"
+                 / "*" / "+" / "," / ";" / "="

[..]

 The default set of characters to be escaped is all those which are
-I<not> part of the C<uric> character class shown above as well as the
-reserved characters.  I.e. the default is:
+I<not> part of the C<unreserved> character class shown above as well
+as the reserved characters.  I.e. the default is:
 
-  "^A-Za-z0-9\-_.!~*'()"
+    "^A-Za-z0-9\-\._~"
#v-

which matches the brackets in the test.


Since the output seems ok, I guess changing the canned XHTML (and a
versioned dependency) is the way to fix this.

Committed to svn.


Cheers,
