Re: [web-annotation] Model is defined in terms of IRIs; Protocol with URI

My problem is not URL vs. URI. Frankly, I do not care too much about 
that, and I am happy to ditch URI in favour of URL.

However, the problem seems to be IRI. At the moment, 
https://url.spec.whatwg.org/ has a reference to the IRI spec[1] but 
only as part of the stated goals. I do not see the URL parsing (in the
 WhatWG document) also taking care of IRI-s. If I am proven wrong 
then, personally, I do not have any objection using URL-s, 
acknowledging the fact that the latest HTML draft, for example, refers
 to the What WG document normatively. But if IRI-s are not (yet) part 
of the WhatWG spec then I think we would have a problem.
