Giving things a name is usually a good idea.

First, it sounds grammatically wrong ("Internationalized Parameter
Encoding" would be better, at least grammatically).
Second, it somehow pretends to be the only way to encode parameters with
non-ascii values. To avoid that, I'd prefer something like "Legacy
Internationalized Parameter Encoding". Other ideas welcome.
I still think that using UTF-8 directly for this purpose is the right
way to go, in line with what the rest of the IETF and the Web are doing,
and the earlier we get there, the better.
Regards, Martin.
