Non latin or non-ASCII7bits characters in certain links are incorrectly escaped by the latest 2.4 engine.

For example, my user page JérômeDuprez is unreachable through a link:

• the link points to JÃRÃ Me Duprez, converted as http://www.jspwiki.org/wiki/J%C3%A9r%C3%B4meDuprez), which does not exist
• whereas it is OK if I write it down in the URL http://www.jspwiki.org/wiki/JérômeDuprez, which gets rewritten as http://www.jspwiki.org/wiki/J%E9r%F4meDuprez

I spotted the problem with the accented characters in my name, but it also surfaces with asian characters, and presumably lots of non-7bits-ASCII characters. That's why I dare to increase the severity.
