Is it to update the URL standard to include them in the list? Or are they not supported? Should the registration template include some information about whether they're intended to have the host treated as an IDN? If they are http-like they could be added to the list, or they need to be handled at the application layer rather than the URL parsing layer. No disagreement by the way that this is rather icky. Another alternative, for non-http-like URLs, would be to treat them specially in the parser. So far I tried to limit special parsing rules to the limited number of schemes and give those the same parsing rules, but we could opt for other strategies. It really depends on where you want to optimize, what you want APIs to look like, etc. -- http://annevankesteren.nl/
