According to http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2368 and http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2822 , RFC 2368 (mailto: URI scheme) and RFC 2822 (email addresses among other things) have neither been obsoleted nor updated. It seems to me that this leaves email addresses with IDNs and mailto: as an IRI scheme undefined. Web Form 2.0 allows IDNs in <input type='email'>. Moreover, I think mailto: as an IRI scheme should be defined in an IDN-aware such a way that the host part of an email address would get the Punycode to ASCII treatment instead of the percent escaping treatment. Are there upcoming drafts that I'm unaware of that define these things properly or is everyone just supposed to infer the right updates to the old specs? -- Henri Sivonen hsivonen@iki.fi http://hsivonen.iki.fi/
