Ok, this a minor editorial change (applied globally).  I made it really simple:

[[
IRI attribute
An attribute defined as containing a valid IRI. A valid IRI is one
that matches the IRI token of the [RFC3987] specification.
]]

I think most people know that IRI are a super-set of URIs, so I did
not point out the difference.

Kind regards,
