Aaron's text takes a URI-ref to be precisely a US-ASCII URI ala RFC 2396. I owe the group some work on internationalization, but currently am of the opinion that we should allow internationalized URIs wherever we allow uri-references; these being resolved into US-ASCII URIs ala RFC 2396 (as modified by RFC 2732) at the same time as relative URI's are resolved, using the standard algorithm.
