url description and url breakdown

I'm not keen on the url parameter description. It doesn't have to be a valid URL, it doesn't even have to be a url at all. I'm also not keen on the sample url, it's just not obvious how it's applicable with the article. -- Strife (talk|contribs) 22:03, 25 January 2014 (PST)

ASCII7

While looking at the above, could the following be better explained?

 "The hexadecimal encoded representation of UTF-8 byte encoding is the only supported means of access to non ASCII7 characters (Unicode characters)."

The word 'encoding' seems to be superfluous. What is the scope of this 'access'? In relation to this function only? Or in LSL in general? Does it perhaps mean that in order to use non ASCII7 characters in any string in LSL you need to write the string using a specific hex representation of those characters and then process the string via llUnescapeURL(). And should there be an example (because by hex representation here I believe we mean %hh and not 0xhhhh) Omei Qunhua 04:37, 26 January 2014 (PST)
