- URIs are restricted to US-ASCII
- Defining Internationalized
Resource Identifiers (IRIs, draft,
editing) to allow
to contain characters from any script
- Uniform convention to map to URIs (encode in UTF-8 and use
%hh-encoding)
- Used already in XML (system identifiers), XLink, XML Schema, and
others, and implemented in main browsers
- Coordinating with IETF work on International Domain Names (IDNs)
- Will be submitted to the IESG for Proposed Standard soon
- See talk A6: IDN and URI, Finally an Internationalized Solution to
