If Org links are escaped by Org will the URLs be functional outside of
Org?

i.e., If I am on some machine, that has no Emacs or Org or if I am using
a version of Org that uses "new unescape" algorithm but the original
link was encoded with the "old escape" algorithm, will Copy-pasting the
link to a browser still work.

If Org is a MUST to unescape the link then it would be a good decision
to re-look at the link syntax so that the questions of escape and
un-escape is dealt with squarely and have no reasons to arise in future.

[1] IIRC, escaping doesn't happen if URL is copy-pasted but only if it
is "inserted".  i.e., escaping much depends on the workflow of the user
and the workflow of a user could much depend on his whims and fancies
and day of the week and seasons of the year.

Just a cent from a Org user.
