            Bug ID: 140080
           Summary: Location object attributes shouldn't be decoded?
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Hardware: Unspecified
                OS: Unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: WebKit Misc.
          Assignee: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org

I might be making some leaps here, or using terminology wrongly, but I think the correct behavior for the Location object is to return a valid URI or URI components in the Location object attributes,

"The value of the href attribute MUST be the absolute URI reference"
http://www.w3.org/TR/Window/#location

and the percent character by itself (not as part of a uri-encoded octet) is not a valid character in a uri,

"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."
https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2396.txt (page 9)

Currently `location.href` will return a decoded version of the url (percent-encoded values will be decoded), is this the correct behavior according to the standards?
