(on behalf of the I18N Core WG) During a recent discussion of this thread, our working group noted that Section 2.5.1 defines the term "valid URL" using four bullet points. The third bullet point says: -- The URL is a valid IRI reference and its query component contains no unescaped non-ASCII characters. -- This definition isn't quite complete. "Non-ASCII characters" can be escaped in lots of ways using a wide variety of character encodings. You should mention the use of UTF-8 to escape non-ASCII characters or (better?) reference section 3.1 of IRI (3987). [We are still discussing the response to the main part of the thread.] Addison Addison Phillips Chair -- W3C Internationalization Core WG Internationalization is not a feature. It is an architecture.
