What you are proposing, perhaps, is that HTTP/2.0 support the carriage
of IRIs.  Noting that this is effectively what browsers and HTML
already do, perhaps that's not a terrible thing.

Would this apply to just :path, or would you extend this to :authority
and allow IDNs there?  That does mean that the proxy/server is
potentially exposed to unicode normalization rules and so forth.
