Indeed. KDE3's "pretty URL" wasn't reparsable. KDE 4's is a rewritten form 
that is reparsable -- I should know it, I wrote it :) (commit 3898e5fb in 
kdelibs)

But the "toPrettyPercentEncoding" function has a few bugs that need 
correcting. I wouldn't learn those details of URL/URI until later on.

That commit in kdelibs is dated 2007-05-21, whereas my work in QUrl that made 
the parser and encoder fully compliant is dated 2008-11-10.
