defaulting name to percent-encoded title creates invalid name

[gkellogg]

If the name property does not exist, it's property value is taken by percent-encoding the title, as necessary. However '%' is not a in the valid character range for name, or in a URI Template.

There is also the need to un-encode name when used as the value of the _name variable, but this will not be possible without percent encoding.

I do not understand. The variable definition in the template spec says:

variable-list =  varspec *( "," varspec )
varspec       =  varname [ modifier-level4 ]
varname       =  varchar *( ["."] varchar )
varchar       =  ALPHA / DIGIT / "_" / pct-encoded

and pct-encoded is defined, in the notational conventions' section as one would expect.

I may miss something but I do not see the problem(s).

+1 to @iherman - I propose we update the definition of the allowed syntax of name to include the possibility of percent-encoded characters.

Great, I had missed that percent encoded was allowed, but that makes perfect sense.
