They aren't meant to be.  LEIRIs solve a problem that's basically internal
to the W3C, namely that the rules for IRI-like strings were being either
copied or linked to in a way that created nonsensical dependencies.

No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the
continent, a part of the main.  If a clod be washed away by the sea,
Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as if a
manor of thy friends or of thine own were: any man's death diminishes me,
because I am involved in mankind, and therefore never send to know for
whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.  --John Donne
