I think when the user types in an URL, you should escape anything
isn't valid for an URL.

(Harder question: should the URL line in Nautilus _unescape_ when
displaying the text? For some things the current escaped display is
basically unreadable; however, if you want to let people
cut-and-paste from the line, then unescaping might be evil.)

We considered this carefully during Nautilus development. Try out what we currently have and see if you like it.
