One potential problem might be, if there is a literal comparison of the 
result of JavaScript encodeURIComponent() with the result of 
ns_urlencode, or some sloppy parser.... Would it be of help for you, 
when we would add one more encoding table (e.g. named "js") to 
ns_urlencode to produce the same result as encodeURIComponent() ?
