Description Martin Dürst 2009-07-29 06:37:50 UTC 
The validator does not support Internationalized Domain Names (IDNs), but should do so. IDNs have been standardized by the IETF in 2003, and an update (mostly irrelevant for implementation in the validator) is underway now.
As a simple example, http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http://www.ietf.org/
validates http://www.ietf.org/. Likewise, http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http://恵比寿駅.jp/ should validate http://恵比寿駅.jp/.
