Nor should it.  The rules for escaping non-ASCII characters in mail
headers are explained in RFC 2047: http://ietf.org/rfc/rfc2047.txt

For example:

Subject: =?ISO-8859-1?Q?kabelskcccc=E5p?=

Which you would then URI-escape, yielding:

href="mailto:adress@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=%3D%3FISO-8859-1%3FQ%3Fkabelskcccc%3DE5p%3F%3D";

Unless someone has implemented an ietf:rfc-2047-encode() stylesheet
function...
