Why? Is it because a URI fragment might look like "#ma%C3%B1nana" and you
want there to be an anchor name that looks the same? That wouldn't work
because if you have <a name="ma%C3%B1nana">...</a>, you would have to use
a URI ending in "#ma%25C3%25B1nana" to link to it. The URI is decoded
before it is compared to the anchor name.. changing this would require a
change to the HTML spec, not just XSLT, no?
