The proposals contained their own justification:

For "Use of Character Encodings", the justification is:

"care should be taken not to introduce unnecessary variety in the 
ways in which characters are encoded into octets and then into 
URL characters"

For "Avoiding Variants", the justification is:

"This will reduce the number of alternative URLs for the same resource,
and encourage consistency."

If you wish to object, please be clear about whether your 
objection is:
   - the requirement is not important
   - the proposal doesn't satisfy the requirement
   - you have a proposal which satisfies the same
     requirement better.
