I think it would be helpful if we could be more explicit about which standards and implementations of IRIs are better served by the current normative definition of IRIs vs. a more liberal specification, closer to what browsers, operating systems, and common URL-parsing libraries accept and process? Outside of XML's LEIRI, which is itself an extension of what RFC 3987 allows, or URL-parsing libraries, which seem to have parameters or options letting the caller determine which syntax they want to process against? I understand there are widespread implementations of URIs and URI processing, but what other systems implement IRIs according to RFC 3987 terms? Larry -- http://larry.masinter.net
