actually...they do.  you can make a file that has a colon in it, and
the mac will just store it as "%3a".  at least, that's what it looked
like on the sparc that was netatalk serving to the mac.  now, if you
served a file that already had a colon in it to the mac, i'm not sure
how the mac would react (it might even crash :).  the side effect of
using %-encoding on weird characters is that the % itself needs to be
encoded, and it's usually a quite acceptable character...
