   Internationalized Resource Identifiers (IRIs) are unicode strings
   used to identify resources on the Internet.  Applications that use
   IRIs often define a means of comparing two IRIs to determine when two
   IRIs are equivalent for the purpose of that application.  Some
   applications also define a method for 'canonicalizing' or
   'normalizing' an IRI -- translating one IRI into another which is
   equivalent under the comparison method used.

   This document gives guidelines and best practices for defining and
   using IRI comparison, equivalence, normalization and canonicalization
   methods.
