I was involved in the process that led to Martin's RFC. You can find
the archive of that part of our discussion in
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/uri/1997Apr/
and neighboring directories.

We provided source code, which you can find in the archive, for the
rather simple process of encoding and decoding Unicode URIs. To
encode: convert the Unicode into UTF-8, and then encode any bytes
with the high bit set in the form %HH (percent sign followed by two
hex digits in ASCII).
