---- Google site map issues when URL contains %3A

The take-home lesson here is to avoid "special characters" in the URL-path-part of a URL. You can use these special characters more freely in the query string part (always-encoded if need be), but the URL-path-part has many more restrictions [tools.ietf.org].

Like it or not we are *not* free to use 'just any' characters anywhere we want in URIs.
