Are you misinterpreting what part has to be ASCII?  If I submit a form
containing the word

    lei=DF

it appears that the last letter is not encoded as ß before being
urlencoded.  Instead, the bytes that represent that character in the de=
sired
encoding are encoded using the usual % notation.  For example, if the
charset is Latin-1, the encoded string is "lei%DF", not "lei%26%23223%3=
B".
That may not be the correct way to do it, but the meager empirical evid=
ence
I was able to gather from Mozilla and Opera suggests that's how it's do=
ne.
