This version attempts to integrate the "web address" concept (called Hypertext Reference or HREF) into the main IRI specification. The text has gone through sufficient transformations that I don't have confidence in its accuracy, but at least it indicates to me that the many specs are mergable. I wound up making relatively minor changes to the introductory text as well.

Filename: draft-duerst-iri-bis Revision: 06 Title: Internationalized Resource Identifiers (IRIs) Creation_date: 2009-07-12 WG ID: Independent Submission Number_of_pages: 53 Abstract: This document defines a new protocol element, the Internationalized Resource Identifier (IRI), as an extension of the Uniform Resource Identifier (URI). An IRI is a sequence of characters from the Universal Character Set (Unicode/ISO 10646). A mapping from IRIs to URIs is defined, which provides a means for IRIs to be used instead of URIs, where appropriate, to identify resources. To accomodate widespread current practice, additional derivative protocol elements are defined, and current practice for resolving IRI-based hypertext references in HTML are outlined. The approach of defining new protocol elements, rather than updating or extending the definition of URI, was chosen to allow independent orderly transitions as appropriate: other protocols and languages that use URIs and their processing may explicitly choose to allow IRIs or derivative forms. Guidelines are provided for the use and deployment of IRIs and related protocol elements when revising protocols, formats, and software components that currently deal only with URIs.
