What standards and implementations use IRIs?

I think it would be helpful if we could be more explicit about
which standards and implementations of IRIs are better served
by the current normative definition of IRIs vs. a more liberal
specification, closer to what browsers, operating systems, and
common URL-parsing libraries accept and process?

Outside of XML's LEIRI, which is itself an extension of what
RFC 3987 allows, or URL-parsing libraries, which seem to have
parameters or options letting the caller determine which
syntax they want to process against?

I understand there are widespread implementations of URIs
and URI processing, but what other systems implement IRIs
according to RFC 3987 terms?
