Hi Jacques,

Seems that following example will be rejected by this new patch:
{quote}blah blah blah ... (see [http://example.com/a%20link]) ...
{quote}
I think that for free-form text input widgets, it is really hard to guess what kind of text will be submitted. What we can do is output encoding, instead of input sanitization.

> When trying to add a note to WorkEffort entity, I found that url encoded characters are unescaped, which is not expected.
> e.g.:
> 1. Go to page: https://demo-trunk.ofbiz.apache.org/workeffort/control/EditWorkEffortNotes?workEffortId=TASK01
> 2. Add a note with content: https://example.com/a%20link
> 3. After submission, it will turned to be: https://example.com/a link
