If you’re going to be giving a link to another website anyway, then what’s the point of the encoding?
If the other website stores the content, like pastebin.com or sketerpot’s solution, then the content will be irreparably lost when the website goes offline. If the content is in the URL unencoded, then mouseover uncovers it.
Assuming I have my Markdown syntax correct, that can be avoided by providing alternate mouseover text.
Here is an example.
Edit: it seems that this is a partial solution… my browser still shows the URL when I mouse over the link, but it’s out of the way and easy to ignore.
