The confusion comes from the fact that Kom has not not been maintained
for years and even simple patches for fixes that we wrote ourselves (2
methods) were not integrated. Hence we had to hack around Kom bugs and
hence WAKomEncoded39. I won't repeat the story of #unescapePercents
here again. I told it many times on this list and even to you
personally since you were the maintainer of Kom. The latest Kom
finally includes our patches and WAKomEncoded is not needed anymore.
This only applies to Squeak 3.9. On Squeak 3.8 the whole story is
different. This is really a Kom issue of and not a Seaside issue.
