Re: Testing IRI fragment identifiers

The difference between (2) and (3) is that:

In (2) the slash separator between the IDN and the pathname part is U 
+002F SOLIDUS (ie the usual slash)

In (3) the slash separator between the IDN and the pathname part is U 
+FF0F FULLWIDTH SOLIDUS (which is what I get when I type slash whilst  
in my chinese input method)

So (2) is using the (currently) valid slash separator but (3) is not.  
But I think it essential that U+FF0F FULLWIDTH SOLIDUS is also treated  
as a valid separator (or auto converted to U+002F SOLIDUS)
