According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urlencoding and thus http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986 which is the URI spec, @ is a reserved character and has to be encoded. Which means that both as input for parsing as well as in rendered output it should be percent encoded, at least that is how I understand it. Do you have a different opinion ?

I guess one hack could be to subclass ZnUrl and overwrite #encode:on: to use a customised ZnPercentEncoder where @ is in the safe set.
