Let me repeat with less ambiguity: I don't I understand the problem
you are trying to convey. Explain it clearly and in detail.

Someone somewhere may be able to address your concern if you could
describe the problem you perceive rather than comment on my attempts
to infer what you mean. 

I think this will help in exposition: instead to commenting on
something I or someone else has written, just start from scratch.
1. describe the problem, 
2. define enough terms for someone to understand what they need to 
   understand the problem, 
3. suggest why your previous simple, straightforward solution doesn't work and 
4. why the current situation in contrast does work (if it does).

In the past I read from you that something's not a "proper URI", which
I later learn is just not true. Or that some software out there will
strip @'s in a URI, which by a leap of imagination conceivably could
be the case if the part in question is part of what RFC 2396 calls
"userinfo". But if you go through the RFC 2396 grammar for the MRL's
used here, that's not applicable.  And I have yet to learn of a
particular piece of software, whether it is relevant or not, that
*does* filter out parts of @'s yet, despite your assertion.  #'s as
was pointed out and as I have tested however *are* filtered by a
browser and that's what are currently being used.

Again you may have a valid concern, although recently in the past all
I've been getting is unsupported if not mistaken beliefs. If you or
someone else can't articulate what the problem is, no one is going to
be able to figure out if it is valid let alone understand how to
address it.
