(I think we should go through the issues http://www.w3.org/International/iri-edit/ and see if we can resolve them.) Re iadditional-00 As noted at the URI BOF and the discussion there, I have moved my own position on this issue (iadditional-00) from being somewhat agnostic to being firmly against adding any characters in IRIs within the US-ASCII range that are not allowed in URIs. I also see no problem in allowing characters outside of the US-ASCII range. The issue is not "spaces are bad", the issue is "US-ASCII spaces should not be allowed". The fact that there are other Unicode space characters may mean that non-ASCII spaces are "allowed", but there should be another category of "allowed but a really bad idea", which might well include "Upper-case Greek Alpha otherwise within a segment of US-ASCII letters".
