I may misunderstand what you say, but isn't it so that if we use 
IRI-s, what it means that implementations may have to perform [1] and 
[2], to turn IRI-s into URL-s for a precise comparison? Well, 
actually, this is what applications on Firefox and IE11 have to do (do
 you have any result on Edge?), because, it seems, Chroms and Safari 
(and, I presume, all other WebKit derivatives) will store IRI-s in 
URL-s after all that encoding, ie, a javascript can make a comparison 
without further ado.
