Matthew -- I don't think that's what they're for. I think that they are
just an "internationalization" of the URI. I may be missing some subtle
point but a brief scan of
http://www.w3.org/International/iri-edit/draft-duerst-iri.html  doesn't
lead me to any conclusion other than the internationalization aspect.
