I'm never really good at parsing RFCs but I read in 2396 that
"Because the percent "%" character always has the reserved purpose of
being the escape indicator, it must be escaped as "%25" in order to
be used as data within a URI."
Isn't it possible to guess by looking at what follows the "%" ?
I may be totally wrong (which is usually what happens when I read
RFCs) but it seems to be possible.
If I'm totally wrong, just a "--encoded" option for "tla register-archive"
would have gave me an instant hint about the encoded representation.
