I think Jose means the path part of the URI vs. the domain part. See
http://www.w3.org/International/articles/idn-and-iri/#problem
The figure below "We will use the following fictitious Web address in 
most of the examples on this page: "

Following that terminology one could say: a best practice is not to use 
IDN, but one is encouraged to use non ASCII characters in the path (if 
needed).

It may also make sense to have a "basic concepts" section that 
introduces path and domain name by example.

Best,

Felix
