Same behaviour e.g. for URLs:
>> http://www.uio.no/f/%26tr/y
== http://www.uio.no/f/&tr/y
I think RT calls this "passing the value through the parser". But your words, (reduction,
correction) are as good, I suppose. Don't know about any "official", "correct" way to
call this. Or maybe someone at RT reads this and can tell us?
