In order to ensure interoperability, it is important to consider both
the input and the output, whether that output is a URI, DNS packet,
HTTP Host: header, HTTP GET request or even displayed IRI (for
humans). We may not be able to address all of these in the public-iri
mailing list, but I do think that all of these are important.
