 >This document defines a new protocol element, the Internationalized
 >Resource Identifier (IRI), as a complement to 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 means that IRIs can be used instead of URIs,
 >where appropriate, to identify resources.
 >
 >The approach of defining a new protocol element was chosen instead
 >of extending or changing the definition of URIs.  This was done in
 >order to allow a clear distinction and to avoid incompatibilities with
 >existing software.  Guidelines are provided for the use and deployment
 >of IRIs in various protocols, formats, and software components that
 >currently deal with URIs.
 >
 >This is now a Proposed Standard Protocol.
 >
 >This document specifies an Internet standards track protocol for
 >the Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions
 >for improvements.  Please refer to the current edition of the
 >"Internet Official Protocol Standards" (STD 1) for the
 >standardization state and status of this protocol.  Distribution
 >of this memo is unlimited.
