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

(this is not an i18n WG response) The i18n WG actually discussed this 
some time ago and concluded that the web annotation spec doesn't imply
 any particular processing of resource identifiers that could be 
called IRIs/URLs that would involve things like punycode and 
percent-escaping. Rather, we concluded that those processes would be 
run by implementations using the model, and that the name was chosen 
simply to indicate (per the RDFa explanation quoted above) that the 
resource identifiers permit the use of characters outside those of 
plain ASCII.  If those assumptions are correct, and as long as the 
spec states that resource identifiers permit the use of characters 
outside those of plain ASCII, I don't think we were overly concerned 
about what you call them.
