Of course, you have to escape the percent character if you do not
want
it to be interpreted as a comment... however, in the example below,
the
URL does not get rendered properly, nor does using \letterpercent, so
there is something that we need to fix in our treatment of URLs.
That is easily fixed by making \hyphenatedurl aware of \% being
\letterpercent.

\appendtoks
  \let\%\letterpercent
\to \everyhyphenatedurl

However, I wonder whether the treatment of % in bib files is correct,
as regular BibTeX does treat the % verbatim.  Because the following
LaTeX example works just fine, with unescaped %.  In my opinion this
behaviour should be adopted by ConTeXt.

\begin{filecontents*}{\jobname.bib}
@misc{kraft,
  author = "Kraft, Nathan",
  title = "Mr Kraft's Virtual Filing Cabinet",
  year = "2015",
  url = "http://mrkraft.wikispaces.com/Mr+Kraft%27s+Virtual+Filing+Cabi
net"
}
\end{filecontents*}

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{apacite,url}
\begin{document}

\nocite{kraft}
\bibliographystyle{apacite}
\bibliography{\jobname.bib}

\end{document}
...
\startbuffer[references]
@misc{kraft,
  author = "Kraft, Nathan",
  title = "Mr Kraft's Virtual Filing Cabinet",
  year = "2015",
  url = "http://mrkraft.wikispaces.com/Mr+Kraft\%27s+Virtual+Filing+C
abinet"
}

Dear list,
The percent character in btx field is taken as a comment characters
which leads to the rest of the field being discarded.  In the MWE
below, the URL is cut off at the % sign and everything after it is
lost.
Cheers, Henri
