Allow urlencoded string in URI

You always have the option to override the necessary methods in the URI class by creating an application/libraries/MY_Uri.php file. But these guys are right, people won't type in the character entities, or even the proper character, when typing it out by hand. What you need to do is have a process that rewrites all non-ascii chars into ascii chars before URI class tries to validate it.. I believe this is what some other frameworks/CMSs do
