  Really no, the recommended solution is UTF8 based escaping. They only
suggest to fallback to escaping in the encoding of the document for older
deployed software and remember that HTML-4.0 dates from 1999 !

  I stand firm on this issue, really URI reference should be escaped
from the byte string based on the UTF8 encoding of the URI string.
