If you (a carbon-based lifeform) are typing into an input value field, you type normal text, then [url] it before you pass it to another form. Humans don't need to type escaped text; it is strictly for machines. But it is always safe to [url] a value out of a database or a form variable from a previous submit, since it will be interpreted by the browser and displayed in human friendly form. If you peek and look at View Source, you will see the nasty escaping magic, but no one cares there.
