[O] Unwanted percent-encoding capturing data from Firefox

User-agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.9.2.17) Gecko/20110428 Fedora/3.1.10-1.fc14 Thunderbird/3.1.10

For some months now, I've been successfully capturing Firefox data as explained here: http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/org-protocol.html But the results below demonstrate a problem. The 2nd and 3rd represent what was captured into Emacs, the quoted line in each case being what was highlighted in Firefox. Emacs version is: GNU Emacs 24.0.50.1 (x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.22.0) of 2011-05-03

Org-mode version 7.4:

Org-mode version 7.4 (release_7.5.409.g4f3a3) == latest
[[http%3A%2F%2Fwww.tbray.org%2Fongoing%2FWhen%2F201x%2F2011%2F05%2F31%2FBrowsers][ongoing by Tim Bray %C2%B7 Me and My Browsers]] "I like that Chromeâ%80%99s fast%2C and I re%C2%ADally like that itâ%80%99s ro%C2%ADbust"

I don't yet have the Elisp chops to see where this should be mended.

(The bogus hyphens are only a minor concern but they're a puzzle. Apparently some Javascript is sprinkling the text with soft hyphens which are removed when copying via the browser but not when capture copies using window.getSelection())

Thanks, Bill
